Francis Frith's hugely popular photographs allowed the Victorian armchair traveller to follow him down the Nile, up the Rhine and over the British Isles. In his own words, Frith's aim was 'to provide for those to whom circumstances forbid...[the] faithful representation of the scenes I have witnessed.' Today his photographs reveal a charming, sometimes humorous view of the Victorian obsession with the exotic lands and antiquities of the East, as well as the everyday world of village and town life in Britain at the height of its wealth and power.
