Abstract: "Drawn from The Royal Photographic Society's archives - over 270,000 images dating from 1826 to the present day - the more than 300 photographs gathered here represent an unbroken thread linking the development of photographic genres, styles, and techniques. Some of the works are instantly recognizable, some are unknown gems by famous names, others were taken by complete unknowns yet offer a landmark moment through their subject matter or style. Many are published here for the first time."
