Upon a further bit of digging:

http://gallica.bnf.fr/services/engine/search/sru?operation=searchRetrieve&version=1.2&query=%28gallica%20all%20%22Agence%20rol%2094581%22%29&lang=en&suggest=0

The 'Agence Rol' French press service glass negative #94581 was taken in 1924. Therefore, one possibility is the co-incidence of the Empire Imperial Jamboree held at Wembley from 01-08 August 1924 with the British Empire Exhibition which ran from late April until October 1924. There was apparently fairly sparse overseas Boy Scout attendance at this Wembley jamboree, but it paved the way for a much larger gathering in Ermelunden, Denmark [2nd International Jamboree] immediately thereafter, from 09-17 August.

Still trying to find a catalogue/list of exhibitors to see if JT & Co. had an 8-bell chime on display at the BIE 1925.

       Just some thoughts...

 With a 400% zoom-in & a bit of
 'fill-in-the-blanks' thinking, a few of the bells in
 the photo appear to have the trademark John Taylor raised
 relief (circular wreath) 'Lamb & Flag' lozenge
 cast mid-waist. Profiles appear to be 1920s Taylors as well.
 Also, the rounded, double-bevel finial design on the
 keyboard corner posts is definitely 1920s Taylor [cf:
 Loughborough Carillon], as are the 'canister'
 turnbuckle adjusters with their top-mounted locking
 knobs.

 The 'lemon-squeezer' hat visible at the L side of
 photo might indicate a Boy Scout [Lord Baden-Powell]
 connection to some sort of jamboree or training session.
 Likely candidates could be the International Jamborees held
 at Olympia/London in 1920 or at Merseyside/Birkenhead in
 1929. As the two chaps seated by the keyboard have identical
 socks/footwear, but not the same shirts, this could simply
 be a case of scouts from different 'troops'. A
 cursory check of photos of French scout uniforms of the era
 confirms knee socks with downward 'M' cuff ribbons
 and waist-length shirts [rather than mid-thigh jackets, as
 in UK]. 

 The two steel railings in the foreground might also indicate
 installation adjacent to a railway siding, although I cannot
 discern any tracks in the photo, per se.

 My guess is that the photo might be from a [temporary?]
 Taylor installation of a simple diatonic 8-bell chime,
 either at some [private] boys' school in the UK or large
 assembly grounds such as Olympia or Merseyside.

 The photo is credited to 'Agence Rol', a French
 press agency. If taken in the UK by the Agence Rol, the
 chime player & his on-looker companion may well have
 been French attendees at a Jamboree, with Rol keen to
 document the international participation. Hence, also, the
 reference to 'carillon' and how the photo wound up
 in the BNF.

 It would be worth contacting Loughborough to get a list of
 their 1920s chime contracts & see if the
 instrument's provenance can be established.

  Dear 

  colleagues,

  I attach

  two images 

  for you which I have recently found on the

  web:

  -    

  drawing of 8 ringers ringing Notre Dame de Paris's

  bourdon 

  bell

  -    

  photo from the BNF (French National Library), entitled

  "carillon"; looks like it 

  was taken at a school (UK ?) - if anyone can give their

  advice on where 

  this was taken, who founded the bells, and other
 interesting

  tidbits, I would 

  appreciate it.

  Greetings

  to all, 

  and excellent congress to all the

  attendees,

  Elizabeth
