The oldest known photograph of #London - Whitehall from Trafalgar Square, taken in 1839 by M. de St. Croix. Charles Dickens was only 27 when this photo was taken. pic.twitter.com/1YAjXCEtpw

This photograph is from a Daguerreotype so the original was reversed and looked like this. It is from the V&A collection. The streets seem empty due to the long exposure time. pic.twitter.com/picfRh2URA

Old Georgian London really, since it was prior to all the grand Victorian pomp.
