Royal Photographic Society

The Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 'to promote the Art and Science of Photography', a mission it continues to this day in the United Kingdom and through its considerable overseas membership. The collection of photographs contains key images by the most influential photographers of our time including Julia Margaret Cameron, Alvin Langdon Colburn, Fred Holland Day, Peter Henry Emerson and William Henry Fox Talbot.
