The world at a turning point

MacRobertson Trophy, London to Melbourne Air Race, Mildenhall Aerodrome 18th October 1934

From the trenches of the Western Front to Scott's Antarctic expedition. From the first aeroplanes to Frith's 1840s photographs of Egyptian monuments

Among the oldest photographs of ancient sites in existence. The moments when the modern world was being made, captured on glass before they could be forgotten.
