It has been said that London never
changes, yet, says Mr.. Newman, it has
SO altered in recent years that Dickens

British conservatism has in the past
made photography exceedingly difficult
in many important places. This year
all the barriers were removed. After
many years of ps.ient waiting Mr..
Newman was finally permitted to take
his camera into many historic interiors
and photograph halls, chambers, works
of art and many other things heretofore
rigidly banned.
He does not present the London you
have seen time and again on the travel

lis as you have hoped to view it In pic

thought could not be obtained.
