Eric Henri Kennington is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This artist made photographs in a time before color film took over. One untitled photograph in our bundle shows quiet corners of London between the wars, empty doorways, rain-slicked streets, the kind of image that catches you because it feels like a pause in someone’s day. If you’ve walked through back alleys near Covent Garden, you’ll recognize the light.

Tap this photograph to see the frame filled with muted grays and a single splash of a poster’s red.
