The Empire through photographs, Bristol Museum

27 photographic images and videos dating from the 1880s to the 1960s form an illuminating exhibition at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery.  Each image was chosen by a photographer, historian, relative of those working in the Commonwealth or others living at that time as representing their memories of life in the Empire.  The Lord-Lieutenant attended the launch of the exhibition which will remain until 31 August 2018.  She noted that the text associated with each image told the story of why the image was selected and identified historical events or activities across the Empire that were happening during the same period of time.  The Museum has a large photographic archive, some images of which shed light on private and public aspects of life in the Commonwealth and beyond.
