A side effect of the rise of photography as a popular art form has
been the accumulation of a huge body of images whose photographers
and subjects remain unknown. Among these are many fascinating
photographs - some almost masterpieces - that could easily have
been lost forever, were it not for their chance rediscovery in
libraries and archives, homes and institutions. This book presents
a selection of these mysterious and highly collectable images. They
portray a striking range of people, animals and objects, captured
in scenes that may be witty, touching, sinister or surreal. As
viewers, our imaginations are immediately engaged as we try to
reconstruct the story behind each picture, and the collection as a
whole forms a quirky, alternative history of photography as a
medium and its endless power to surprise.
