Jack Ryder-Exhibition of rare photographs

JACK RYDER EXHIBITION OF RARE EARLY PHOTOGRAPHS

These photographs, dating from 1845 to 1945, cover many subjects which can be quite challenging, including poverty in America and Britain, 19th century agriculture, the seaside, American industry, Barnardo’s and family portraits.

Photographers include Britons Lewis Carroll, George Ruff, Francis Frith and Julia Margaret Cameron, and Americans Dorothea Lange, Lewis Wicks Hines, Jack Delano and John Vachon.

Many of these photographs have never been seen by the public, and some not for over 100 years.
It is doubtful if such a collection has ever been put together in one place before.
