i have this reaaaally hard coursework i have to give in by tommorow, but i have a serious problem.

can you please give me a couple of reasons why photo sourcse could be useful to show the popularity of something.

one picture is a buf rally in Olympia. the picture is of a big crowd listening to oswald mosley's speech.

the 2nd photo is oswald mosley doing the fascist salute and all crowd doing the same.

the question is , how are these photos useful in showing someone about the popularity of the rally

this is realy urgent please answer as soon as posible

thanks in advance

On usefulness, try

Basically, you look at two things:
Content - what can you see in the picture that shows it was popular?
Provenance - who took the photos - would they have a motive to choose the picture to show it more popular that it was
