Highly collectable very rare photogravure  Piccadilly Circus, London c.1910 by Fred Judge 1872-1950 FRPS.

This stunning and atmospheric work was produced for Fred Judge's renowned 1924 publication "Camera Pictures of London at Night (London & Hastings : Judge's Ltd) produced in photogravure by the Sun Engraving Company. Although better known as a postcard producer, he became a master of night photography and a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. Originally printed as bromoil transfer prints, and some shot pre First World War, they were published as photogravures in 1924. Fred Judge was the inventor of the Bromoil Transfer process allowing more than one print to be made from the notoriously fragile Bromoil print.

Fred Judge would travel from his home town of Hastings on the Sussex coast on November evenings to capture the glamour and atmosphere of London's West End. Using a small camera which he built himself, it was fitted with a motion picture lens creating a wonderfully impressionistic and surprisingly modern set of images under extremely difficult technical conditions.

He wrote of one of this series of photographs "the powerful light, the gleaming cars, the countless buses, the ever changing compositions, there for a few seconds, then vanishing into the night, to be replaced by others, the same but different; (it) is a feast to the eyes and the senses of an artistically minded soul".

Fred Judge's work is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London
