Fascinating Talk by Roger Taylor

Being a bit of an amateur historian I found the talk given by Roger Taylor  about his work to support the recent major exhibitions and book on the 19th century British photographers fascinating.   I loved the wonderful image of the Houses of Parliament by Roger Fenton - again from a catalogue/book written by Taylor (Note:   Both the links take you the web sites relating to the major exhibitions).   You have to admire the determination and stamina shown by Taylor to finish these major pieces of work.   Overall, another great talk.   There seems to be a pattern forming here - the course staff need to be congratulated on their choice of guests.   Just hope my presentation next week doesn't stink the place out!
