Event Description
We'd like to let you know that our new exhibition, "1871", is opening this Tuesday (the 7th of November) at 2 in 76m2, Pontypool. We'll be there with tea, coffee and snacks till 5 pm, and everyone is welcome to join us!
The title of the exhibition refers to the year when Dr Richard L. Maddox invented the dry plate, making photography more portable and accessible. The exhibition brings together a collection of late 19th century images on glass plates brought to us by our visitor, Calvin Morgan, and portraits of Pontypool residents and gallery visitors taken on a handmade large format camera and black and white photographic paper. The glass plates are spontaneous family photographs, which is unusual considering the posed studio images from that period that we're used to seeing.
