London, 1920s Photogravure By Donald Macleish From Wonderful London By St John Adcock, 1927. From The Section Entitled Some Of The Sights And Sounds That Liven London Streets: Curb-side Hawkers Are To Be Found Wherever Shoppers Congregate, But Holborn At Christmas Is A Favourite Pitch Of Theirs. With Their Nodding-dolls And Acrobatic Toys - Mechanisms That Never Appear To Function So Deftly After Purchase - They Are Often A Greater Joy To Children Than All The Expensively Garnished Shop-windows On The Other Side Of The Pavement.
