The first major photographic exhibition ever held at the British Library opens today and runs until 7 March 2010. Points of View: Capturing the 19th Century in Photographs draws from the Library’s rarely displayed collection of over 300,000 historic images. The exhibition is free and full details – including information on a series of accompanying talks and events – can be found on the British Library website by clicking here. Above is Coming Home from the Marshes by Peter Henry Emerson c. 1886, just one of the 250 exhibits on display.
