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.
Pall Mall has long been associated with the Establishement. The street is best known for the gentleman's clubs, such as the Reform Club, whose lavish 19th century buildings line its pavements. Daly's image of a piece of padded upholstery in a rubbish bin seems to be a pointed comment on the relevance of the old order to 1980s London. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Tim Daly | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Identity and Icons Cityscape | Temporal: | 1988 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
