Come and see how women were a vital part of the earliest days of photography. My lecture on 3rd May @NPGLondon tells the stories of five women following new research with @PhotoHistories , all pioneers of photography at the very dawn of its invention. #VictorianGiants nitter.cf/NPGLondon/status/96952…

Jeremy Hunt has single handedly made the NHS the least safe it has ever been. The fact that he has won an award for that is quite simply perverse. Please RT if you agree. nitter.cf/dhscmedia/status/96748…

"I now have forty-five specimens, all of which present the several colors, true to a tint, and with a degree of brilliancy never seen in the richest Daguerreotype" - Levi L. Hill b. February 26, 1816 🇺🇸 His experimental "color" photographs became known as "Hillotypes"

A #MugshotMonday here taken inside our very own @WMPolice #Lockup back in 1895. On the 1st floor with the natural light coming through the glass roof panels prisoner images would be taken, their height recorded and all the details of the offence entered in the prisoner ledger
