The Society’s exceptional photographic archive houses up to half a million images with some dating back to 1830s.
This exhibition provides a glimpse of the Society’s vast collection and reflects on the artistry of the photographers - from early landscapes of Egypt to portraits of Brazilian warriors, majestic polar vistas to contemporary images of parched deserts and iconic images of Hillary and Tenzing drinking tea after the ascent of Everest.
These images collectively provide a unique view of the people, places and environments of our world.
