Photography: The World Through the Lens

It delivers around 2 million photographs from Britain, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, providing the visual evidence to support and supplement written sources. The content was sourced from the British Library, the National Archives, the Royal Collection, the National Portrait Gallery, the Library of Congress and other prestigious institutions.
