Mary Evans Picture Library representing New Scotland Yard picture archive
Mary Evans Picture Library has announced that it is now exclusively representing the picture archive of New Scotland Yard. The archive dating back to 1875 contains a varied collection relating to the policing of the Metropolitan Police District of London. The collection relates not only to interesting exhibits from crime cases (specifically dealt with by the Crime Museum at New Scotland Yard) but a whole range of interesting images reflecting the life of London as seen through the eyes of the Police Service. Amongst the collection are fantastic early images of undercover policemen and forensic work including fingerprinting and crime scene photography. The Archive also includes images of historic police vehicles, uniforms, badges, posters and specific picture sets of police involvement in such incidents as the Brixton riots and the Poll Tax demonstrations.
The Metropolitan Police has recently launched the ‘New Scotland Yard’ brand and as part of that effort has agreed to market the historic image collection through the Mary Evans Picture Library. Eleanor Fletcher, Intellectual Property and Merchandising Manager of the Metropolitan Police Service had this to say about the new agreement, "We are delighted to be working with Mary Evans and hope that this arrangement will facilitate greater access to our unique collection of historical images."
