Barbican Archive photo gallery

People

Many of the Barbican Archive images illustrate people going about their everyday life - in school, shopping at Jacka's bakery, pushing the pram, getting married, posing for formal portraits at the photographers studio....

Occasionally several generations of a family are depicted through a series of pictures taken over the years, so these pictures offer a real chance to get to know families like the Witts, Nichols and the Iveys.
