The Duchess of Marlborough opens her London County Council Campaign by House to House Canvas; c. 1919. Social conditions. Working-class meets upper-class. Opens with shot of Duchess in dark fur thing standing at doorway talking to a young couple; a veteran and his wife. Then shot of her talking to an elderly lady; shaking hands; young boys appear in FG looking over fence. (Both houses the same -- is this early form of public housing?)
Shot of group of people around Duchess; mostly children; and 2 men. she is bending down to talk to kids. Next; little girl with jump rope running joyfully in front of group of kids; trying to jump backwards. Rest of kids approach on path; gather in front of camera; grinning; shoving; etc. Kind of an unkempt bunch; with messy hair; etc. CU kids pushing up against car; boys looking tough. Back to shot of Duchess talking to the vet & wife.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
