Great picture! My grandmother worked in Unilever House during the mid-1940s and I worked across the Thames from it on Blackfriars Bridge in the early 2000s (about where those 3 chimneys are, top left of picture) so it's fantastic to see what it looked like in the early 1930s, thank you!

ReplyDeleteI wonder what sort of camera was used? Looks like medium format aspect ratio. I miss the film camera look.
ReplyDeleteApparently the guy working the boom mic in the landspeeder scene is now playing the role of Speedo Guy on Bob's Burgers...
