Picture the Past Nottingham (Paperback)

This title features a fascinating collection of images that both locals and visitors to Nottingham will enjoy. "Nottingham - Picture the Past" is a unique insight into the use of photography in the illustrious history of one of England's finest cities. Exquisite high-quality images of Nottingham throughout the 19th and 20th century are accompanied by detailed historical captions that set the photographs in their proper context and tell the stories of the people, buildings, streets and events of the past. In "Nottingham - Picture the Past" readers can also see how photographic techniques developed over the years, and how the actual photographs were used: the rich and fashionable would proudly display their personal photographs, artists embraced the new medium and, towards the end of the 19th century, businesses began to exploit their commercial use. The unrivalled collection of illustrations held by Nottinghamshire County Council has long been recognised as an indispensable record of the past. In this new book a fresh selection of images is displayed to best advantage, and the carefully compiled captions provide essential reading and reference for residents both past and present, who take an interest in photography and the city's colourful history.
