One hundred and fifty years ago travelling with a camera was both a
novelty and an enormous challenge. The intrepid photographers who
took their cameras to remote corners of the world brought back
images which amazed their peers. Photographer and historian John
Hannavy has recreated some of their epic journeys - travelling to
Scotland along the route followed by William Henry Fox Talbot in
1844; recreating Charles Kinnear and Thomas Melville Raven's 1857
journeys to France; exploring the Nile from Cairo to Abu Simbel
along the route Francis Frith followed between 1856 and 1859;
travelling through Russia and the Ukraine as Roger Fenton did in
1852 and 1855; across India from Calcutta to Simla following Samuel
Bourne's 1863 account of his travels; and exploring China and
Cyprus as John Thomson did between 1863 and 1878.This beautifully
illustrated book contrasts the Victorian world with our own, and
looks at how our view of the world has changed in the intevening
years. It chronicles the developments which have taken place in
travel, architecture, culture, and of course photography itself.
