Fotografía de Agencia Londres. Segunda Guerra mundial
Las fotografías de agencia de la segunda guerra mundial recogen, como es lógico, vistas de la retaguardia y no solo de los frentes de batalla.
En este caso es una imagen muy conocida de Londres, Westminster, de noche, prácticamente sin luces para dificultar los raids de la aviación alemana.
