Since it was published last month, ‘100 Photographs From the Collections of the National Trust’ has been on Pressphotoman’s shopping list.

The book features images taken from the NT’s collections of more than half a million photographic objects held at its properties in England and Wales.

National Curator of Photography Anna Sparham had the (un)enviable task of choosing the featured images, which are accompanied by illuminating background texts.

‘100 Photographs’ takes a chronological approach, introducing us to lesser-known or overlooked names behind the camera and giving many images their public debut.

Safe to say, the book is a veritable treasure trove for photohistorians and those interested in how the medium has reflected  and continues to reflect the world around us.

My copy was purchased during a holiday visit to Kedleston Hall near Derby, a National Trust property whose photographic collection is amongst those reflected in the 100 chosen images.

Highly recommended.
