Comic Pictures in High Street, West Bromwich (1902)

Comic
The hustle and bustle of Edwardian street life are captured to great effect here as young boys flock to this West Midlands street. 'The photos we are taking will be shown on Monday, January 13th,' proclaims the commercial of the showman. The mix of flat caps, bowler hats, navigators and top hats offers a vivid and engaging social vision, showing classes that blend together yet clearly defined.
