Britain in Focus: A Photographic History

[Bacardi]

I don't recall seeing this series from 3 years ago, but might be of interest to those with an interest in the history of photography. 3 Episodes, the first available on iPlayer:

Very minor claim to fame; Fox Talbot’s ‘The Reading Establishment’ (the first photograph printing firm) is round the corner from my house. Some of his work was done in his back garden so in some photos you can see the back of my house. Told you it was a minor claim to fame

His book ‘The Pencil of Nature’ was the first commercially available book to be published including photographs so is considered ‘quite important’. It can be seen here...
