30 January - Magic Lantern Show

Presented by: Alan Brindle - www.alanbrindlephotography.co.uk

Alan will be re-creating the atmosphere of the late Victorian period. The show will take you back over a hundred years to the halcyon days of the British Empire, when a quarter of the world’s land mass was coloured pink. Queen Victoria ruled and there was a great feeling of national pride. He hopes to thrill us all in the way Victorian audiences were thrilled and amazed by these images of far away places they could never hope to visit.

The images are all hand-tinted photographs, coloured by young women with good eyesight and a steady hand. The first half will take us round the world and the second half looks at the Russo-Japanese War, venture into the melodramas of the day then finish with images from Japan whose exponents were masters of 19th Century photography.
