London City Mission group at Barnet Fair, London, 1900s. Artist: John Galt

London City Mission (LCM) group at Barnet Fair, London, 1900s. Men singing hymns while a man accompanies them on a trumpet. A group of gypsy children are in the foreground. Galt came to London in 1890 to work as a missionary for the London City Mission. In the early 1900s he took a series of photographs, mainly of the East End, which he had made into lantern slides to illustrate lectures publicising the work of the Mission. Galt sought to show that though there was great poverty in the East End, the people were not sub-human, as was popularly imagined by the middle-classes, but ordinary folk trying to do their best under difficult circumstances.
