Hand In Hand Insurance Office, 26 New Bridge Street, Blackfriars, City Of London, Greater London

View north-east towards the Hand in Hand Insurance offices, 26 New Bridge Street and the dome of St Paul's Cathedral in the distance, showing horse-drawn traffic passing by. The Hand in Hand Insurance Company was established in 1696, and in 1904 it merged with the Commercial Union Assurance Company, so it is possible that this photograph was taken to commemorate the change in this company's prospects.
