It contains over 50 images taken in by Birmingham photographer John Collier at the Exhibition of Local Manufactures and Natural History in 1886.

It’s that time of the year.
First of the Photography grad shows of ’09 is Emergence at the Custard Factory showing the work of HND and HNC students from Sandwell College in West Bromwich.
Sandwell is one of the best photo schools in the Midlands and there should be something for all tastes (I am of course biased because I got my HND there).
They have a blog up here, hopefully there’ll be more images up before the exhibition is launched.
Emergence is open from the 6th – 13th June at the VAAD Gallery in the Custard Factory
