Souvenir Photographs

Subject

Frith's Miniature Folio

Description

As well as being collected in books, souvenir photographs and views were also sold separately in portfolios like these. Here the publisher, not the purchaser, selected the views. Many of the scenes were included because of their connections to Wordsworth and his poetry, although the connection isn’t explained. Both the Bowder Stone and Dungeon Ghyll, displayed here, also featured in Our English Lakes, Mountains and Waterfalls.
