The first photographs ever made were created without the use of camera. This display will explore the camera-less image from its discovery in the 1850s to the present day. Drawing together unique examples from the V&A collection this display will showcase the work of the key figures in the history of photography, including Anna Atkins, Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy.
This event coincides with the Shadow Catchers exhibition held at the V&A too.
Free admission.
