We are proud to showcase a selection of distinctive archive images from The Francis Frith Collection. Their quality is uniformly high - Francis Frith commissioned only the most accomplished artist-photographers to assist him. Though most were taken for commercial purposes, these images without exception possess a strong aesthetic quality, evoking with considerable power and atmosphere the spirit of a past era, long vanished. We hope you enjoy them.
