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.
