As well as being crucial records of the history of the V&A, and an important element within the National Art Library's visual encyclopaedia, these photographs are also significant artefacts in the history of the art of photography.\r\n","physicalDescription":"A mounted sepia-coloured photograph, the centre photograph of a panorama of buildings on Cromwell Road.
