This black-and-white photo shows the South Kensington Museum’s North Court in 1915. Taken by the V&A itself, it’s part of an old effort to document the building for students. The shot captures the museum’s own history. These photos were meant to teach architecture and design, not just look pretty. Want to see more early museum photography? Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
