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 :D

On usefulness, try
http://www.johndclar..._sourcework.htm (click on 'Utility')
and http://www.johndclar...estion2_c.shtml

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
