Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
A few weeks ago BPH and several national newspapers and publications asked the question 'Who was Christina?'. Several BPH members undertook geneaological research and others have provided information. BPH now understands that the mystery of Christina has been solved. The National Media Museum and curator Colin Harding will be revealing the answer shortly...so watch this space.
In the meantime images of Christina can be seen in Drawn by Light, Treasures of The Royal Photographic Society Collection on view at the National Media Museum, Bradford, until 21 June. The catalogue featuring Christina on the cover and can be purchased here.
