Description: | This photograph is one of a series based on the 1930s gaame 'Monopoly'. Tim Daly was commissioned by the Photographers Gallery to record the places named on the board, reflecting on changes London has seen since 1936.
Traflagar Square was one of the more expensive sets of property on the original board. Daly sees it as a place of empty symbolism, a surival from the past only of interest to tourists. By the 1980s the tourism industry attracted 9.1 million visitors to London, rising to 10.3 million in 1990. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Tim Daly | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Cityscape Identity and Icons | Temporal: | 1988 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
