After the death of Beaufoy Merlin in 1873, Bernhardt Holtermann engaged Merlin's assistant, 24-year-old Charles Bayliss, to continue taking photographs for his planned exposition. This view of Pall Mall, from Hadley's City Family Hotel, was taken by Bayliss in April 1874, using a mammoth camera which took glass plates measuring 18 x 22 inches (46 x 56 cm). Three months before this photograph, the entire stock of Hadley's City Family Hotel was sold, including De Venoge, Moet, Roederer, Krug and Wachter champagnes.
