Talk: A Revelatory Eye – Dartmoor Photography from the 1850s to the 1870s

Over the past 25 years Tom Greeves has collected together some of the earliest landscape photographs of Dartmoor, taken in the 1860s and 1870s. Many were by one of the finest national photographers of the era, Francis Bedford, but several other photographers captured scenes that are of great historical, social and environmental interest, and often beautifully composed. A Victorian sense of humour is also evident in some of them.

This talk will illustrate examples from across Dartmoor.

Doors and bar open from 7pm.
