Dorset – Lost Dorset, The Villages & Countryside

Description

(David Burnett)  A collection of 350 postcards selected from Barry Cuff’s remarkable collection, all taken by professional photographers, which were deliberately posed for the camera.

The pictures cover the period between the invention of the postcard in the 1880s until just after the First World War, resulting in a carefully observed portrait of Dorset’s villages and rural way of life through a period of extraordinary upheaval and change.
