To celebrate #WorldPhotographyDay, we’re sharing some photographs taken by the Museum’s first official photographer Roger Fenton. In 1857 he photographed several of the exhibition galleries‪.
This photograph by Roger Fenton shows two artists in the Third Graeco-Roman Saloon (now Room 2) in 1857. In the distance to the right can be seen a Museum Attendant on duty. The artists take full advantage of natural daylight from the specially designed skylights. This was the only light available at this time as electric lighting was only installed in the Museum from 1878.
Sketching from the collections has been welcomed at the British Museum since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Until 1878 the Museum was closed to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On these days the collections were arranged and artists and students were admitted to sketch in the galleries.
Roger Fenton, the first official photographer to the Museum, photographed several of the exhibition galleries in 1857. Prints were available for sale and helped to broaden the public's knowledge of the Museum and its collections.
