Founded in 1875, The Society for Photographing Relics of Old London was initially formed to record and preserve the Oxford Arms, a 17th-century coaching inn near St Paul’s Cathedral which had been marked for demolition. The group commissioned Alfred and John Bool to document the inn, and their glass plates were in turn printed by Henry Dixon & Sons. The group then sold the prints by subscription, which proved so popular that they went on to commission 120 photographs over the next 12 years. The present group includes five views of The Oxford Arms, including the series' most famous view of St Paul's in the background of the inn.
