Hi All, I've been surfing again... I had received the following: Ancestry HomeTown Daily "A Daily Dose of Genealogy" www.ancestry.com March 18, 1998 The Francis Frith Collection Francis Frith was 34 years old when he established the first photographic publishing company in Britain in 1856. His goal was to photograph every town and village in Britain and to publish the photographs for sale. He spent the rest of his life in pursuit of that goal. In those days photography was a messy and complicated process only undertaken by a very few professionals and the very rich. The photographs Frith took satisfied a demand for souvenirs of the places Victorians were visiting. "Frith's Post Cards" became well known at the time and are collectibles today. If you are researching ancestry in Victorian England or even as late as 1970, the Frith collection probably contains photographs of the villages where your ancestors lived. Originally published in Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, March, 16, 1998.
