The photograph was taken in May 1944 in London and belongs to the opening phase of Lieb’s film, which documents life in England shortly before D-Day. While a few kilometers away on the south English coast the embarkation of invasion troops was being prepared, these images show the civilian daily life of the British capital. Such scenes served Lieb as a contrast to the military events and underscored the civilian backdrop against which the invasion was being prepared.
