Francis Firth Collections
The Frith archive was founded by Francis Frith, the pioneer Victorian photographer, in 1860 and today contains over 365,000 photographs of some 7,000 towns and villages throughout Britain. Taken between 1860 and 1970 these form a topographical record of Britain without equal and is recognised as probably the only photographic collection of national importance in private hands in Britain today. Photos: Over 48,000 images from the archive, searchable by location. Every image is available in various formats as framed, mounted or poster prints, in sepia or black and white. We are also developing a gallery section of the site, and are in the process of acquiring the rights to other collections. Books: Over 250 local history book titles (which include a voucher for a free Frith print of any image in the book) have been published by The Frith Book Company. These cover British towns, counties and there are a series of themed and general interest books, such as Brave New Britain, or Scottish Castles. Many titles are available in both hardback and softback editions. Maps: We stock a collection of superb reproductions of hand tinted engraved maps.
