Frank Meadow Sutcliffe: Hailed as one of the most original and outstanding photographers of his day, Sutcliffe's passion for his beloved town of Whitby, England, produced one of the most moving documents in the history of nineteenth-century photography. Using his camera honestly and affectionately, he created images of the inhabitants and their daily life that retain their immediacy today.
