About this title

Synopsis

A nostalgic study of the life and work of Benjamin Brecknell Turner, one of Britain's outstanding early photographers, is highlighted by evocative images of rural churches, villages, ruins, and farms during the Victorian era, as well as his subtle portrait photographs, studies of Amsterdam, and shots of the vanished Crystal Palace in London.
