Working docks, morning mist in Hyde Park and quiet courts all find a place in prints from The Image of London, E. O. Hoppé's photographic book published by Chatto & Windus in 1930. Ships in the West and East India docks show London's overseas trade, and Billingsgate and Fleet Street its commercial districts. Westminster, St Paul's, the Charterhouse and the Bank of England are seen from Hoppé's chosen viewpoints, gardens and roof terraces offer quieter scenes, and modern structures take their place beside the city's historic fabric and public ceremony.
