This photographer made a single night-time image called Comus in 1935, a silver print of a lone figure carrying a lantern through a dark, misty street. The grainy black-and-white shot feels like a scene plucked straight out of a 1930s British film set, where street lamps glow and shadows stretch long. Tap Comus to step into that quiet, moody world.
