*
"Points of View brings together for the first time a magnificent selection of almost 200 photographs from the British Library's collections, examining both the history of photography, and its influence in the nineteenth century and beyond. Arranged thematically, the photographs are presented within their cultural context, in order to explore some of the major subjects addressed by the medium in the nineteenth century, from imperial expansion to industrialisation, science, portraiture and social change. The final chapter looks at the technological and commercial developments which, by the close of the Victorian age, had made photography a popular medium available to all."
