Then
And now…
Look, basically I can’t find a suitable picture on google. Stupid google. So close your eyes for a second or two and just remember what everyone looked like last time you got yourself down to a British beach. Fat, pale and far too naked. Right? Right? Yep ok.
SO I absolutely adore the British Library. I spent much time there as a student especially whilst writing my dissertation (truthfully I spent most of my time there looking for cute boys. I figured it would be a good place to find a boyfriend, since if they were there they were already smart. No luck, sadly.) (Oh I do miss being a student.)
The image above (of Hastings beach, fyi) will be one of more than 250 rarely seen photographs to be exhibited at the British Library’s first major photographic exhibition EVER. Points of View: Capturing the 19th Century in Photographs will run from 30 October to 7 March 2010. I’m quite excited.
Bring on the cute, smart boys.
