A Photographic Detective Story: The Curious Case Of The Sultan In The Cellar
Description
This is the audio version of the blog post 'A Photographic Detective Story: The Curious Case Of The Sultan In The Cellar'. It was written by Julian Wood, who is a volunteer with the Courtauld Connects Conway Library digitisation project. It was first published on 5 February 2021. This audio version is read by Meredith Loper, who is also a digitisation volunteer.
In this post, Julian is intrigued by a mysterious photo album held in the Conway Library. The album is filled with black-and-white prints showing churches, classical architecture, and city scapes from around the Mediterranean. But who made the album, and why? Julian uses handwritten initials as a starting point for unravelling stories of family and travel, and examines the historical significance of the photographs carefully collected together.
