A Kingdom by the Sea
The British Isles in historic photochromes around 1900
The beauty and rich history of the four nations of the United Kingdom – England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland – had much to offer to the international tourist in 1900. More than 800 photochromes present an intimate view of the wild landscapes, manicured lawns, bustling cityscapes and bucolic charm of the British Isles before the First World War.

Colour photochromes, 19th- and early 20th-century photographs, postcards, travel posters and luggage labels guide the reader through this historic ‘Kingdom by the Sea’, a welcoming land of extraordinary diversity and fascinating heritage, full of secrets and legends.
