Description

Contemporary Biographies, by W.T. Pike, including "London at the opening of the Twentieth Century". (Pike's New Century Series no.15). Published in 1905 by W.T. Pike & Co., 19 Grand Parade, Brighton.

The volumes in this series each contain an illustrated section about the county, followed by a list of short biographies (each with a photographic portrait) of men of the county who were alive at the time of publication (plus a few who had recently died). Each volume has an index to the illustrations of buildings and views of the county, and an index to the biographies. The London volume was available to subscribers as sections of the whole: this section covers bureaucrats: actuaries and insurance, accountants, and secretaries.

Showing a photograph titled: St George's Schools, London. Designed by Philip A. Robson, A.R.I.B.A. The architect is Philip Appleby Robson (1871–1951). The handwritten note that is visible in this image refers to Philip R. Tranfield, the assistant vice president of New York Life Insurance Company, whose card was found in this volume after it was imported from the United States.
