London : Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington, 1881. Quarto (285 x 220 mm), publisher's pictorial red cloth stamped in gilt and black (boards with light staining and flecking, spine sunned and flecked, text block a little sprung), original patterned endpapers, pp [2], [1]-100, with 21 original woodburytypes from Thomson's original dry-plate negatives, each with printed caption and red ruled border, mounted as individual plates on the rectos of the leaves between pages 3 and 43; all of the woodburytpes and their page mounts are in superb condition, without fading or foxing; title page and last page of text with browning (as in other examples), upper margins of a few text pages with mild insect damage, hinges cracked but holding. The first use of published photographs as social documentary. In 1877-78 John Thomson had first collaborated with radical socialist writer Adolphe Smith Headingley in creating 36 photographs accompanied by textual commentary for the monthly parts of Street Life in London. Of this collaborationJohn Hannavy, inThe Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, wrote: 'The bringing together of the photographer John Thomson and the left-wing political writer and activist Adolphe Smith Headingley to work on the project which resulted in Street Life of London (1877-78), was a logical progression from the collaboration between Richard Beard and Henry Mayhew more than two decades earlier on Mayhew's study of London Labour and the London Poor. Headingley, who wrote under the name of Adolphe Smith, was relatively unknown when he and Thomson collaborated on Street Life and the pairing was an inspired one. Both men had sympathy towards the living and working conditions of their subjects.' In 1878 the twelve monthly parts ofStreet Lifewere reissued in book form; in 1881 an abridged version, Street Incidents,was published which retained the 1878 text but included only 21 of the 36 photographs (the present edition). Street Incidentswas issued essentially as a new work, and the publishers do not credit Thomson as the creator of the strikingly sharp imagesphotomechanically reproduced by the Woodburytype process from the photographer?s original dry-plate negatives. The images in Street Incidents are titled as follows: A Convict's Home; The Wall Worker; Covent Garden Labourers; Halfpenny Ices; Black Jack; The Cheap Fish of St. Giles; Cast-iron Billy; Worker's on the "Silent Highway"; The Street Fruit Trade; The London Boardmen; The Water-cart; "Mush-Fakers" and Ginger-Beer Makers; November Effigies; "Hookey Alf" of Whitechapel; The Crawlers; Italian Street Musicians; The Street Locksmith; The Seller of Shell-fish; Flying Dustmen; Old Furniture; The Independent Shoeblack. The taxonomic approach taken by Thomson to his work can almost be considered scientific: like an anthropologist, he was concerned to classify and accurately capture what he referred to as "the true types of the London poor". Smith (Headingley), with his evocative contextual essays based on interviews with the subjects, brought the element of reformist zeal to the equation. "A pioneering work of social documentation in photographs and words . one of the most significant and far-reaching photobooks in the medium's history." (Parr & Badger, Thephotobook: a history, I, 48).

First edition. 4to. 278x215mm. pp. 100. Text from p.45-100 following twenty-one monotone Woodburytypes printed from Thomson's original glass plates. Each image is framed with a red line border and the title printed in red. The text (which follows the photographs) consists of a commentary and description of the images. Original green pictorial cloth with gilt title and decoration in blind with two figures in gilt. Floral endpapers (lacking front free endpaper). Hinges cracked but holding, corners a little worn, bumping and slight creasing to head and foot of spine. Browning to title page and occasional marks not affecting the photographs which are very well preserved. The margins of two of the plates have handwritten notes in pencil identifying the location of the image. A nice copy of an important book. Street Incidents is a pioneering work of photojournalism which brought into the public eye many of London's marginal and impoverished characters who lived and worked on the streets. Thomson had made his name photographing China and the Far East in the 1860s. In the 1870s he turned his attention to London where, with the left-wing Anglo-French journalist Adolphe Smith, he produced the monthly magazine Street Life in London. Smith took part in the Paris Commune of 1871, played a leading role in the formation of the Trade Union movement and popularised the singing of "The Red Flag" to the tune of "O Tannenbaum". Although Thomson's photographs are a wonderfully vivid, it is Smith's accompanying essays with their wealth of journalistic detail that bring the lives of London's poor into three dimensions and turn the images into more radical campaigning documents.
