Blackfriars Bridge


R.W. Paul | 1896 | ★★★★½
With a static frame sliced diagonally by the titular bridge, R.W. Paul’s fascinating short captures (long-dead) Londoners making the morning commute – by foot, carriage, and horse-drawn, open-topped double-decker bus. Beautifully composed and teaming with life, the film proves delightfully transporting.
