Name of the View Set
Original Film Roll Title Frame
The first Sightseer roll (or strip, if you prefer). A similar subject to True-View's first - London tourist sights, so interesting to compare - although this time more centred on the city of Westminster, within London. Lots of scratches and dirt on these originally, and the captions are very dark. Click on each to get a larger version to view.
