Early Photographic Print Collection- English Heritage's Choice

The Early Photographic Print Collection represents some of the oldest photography in the English Heritage archives, made with large plate negative cameras in the 19th and early 20th century. This tour is a selection of English Heritage's favourites from the collection, made because the photo makes an emotional connection, or simply because it is a striking image.
