Reviews

“The Bloomsbury Photographs [is] a curiously intimate experience. These may not be our relatives, but by the time we close this evocative book we feel a fleeting sense of loss.”—Vanessa Curtis, Times Literary Supplement “The pictures are touching and peculiar and chronicle a gradual loosening of collars.”—Christian House, Sotheby’s “It is a fresh portrayal and affords a delightful tangibility to familiar names and fabled history.”—Fiona McKenzie Johnston, House & Garden, “Best Coffee Table Books 2024”

"""Maggie Humm has changed the way we think about Bloomsbury. With The Bloomsbury Photographs, she helps us to consider then as if now"". Charlie Porter, author of Bring No Clothes: Bloomsbury and the Philosophy of Fashion ""This beautifully curated selection of photographs brings Bloomsbury letters and diaries to life. Maggie Humm's ground-breaking analysis provides vivid and important new insights into the history of photography and the intricate workings of the Bloomsbury group."" Wendy Hitchmough, author of The Bloomsbury Look ""Maggie Humm is the acknowledged expert on Bloomsbury photography. Here she presents a rich array of photographs, many of them gratifyingly unfamiliar, while addressing the Social and technological histories of amateur photography alongside Bloomsbury's various disruptions to the (heterosexual) 'family album'."" Lisa Tickner, author of Modern Life & Modern Subjects: British Art in the Early Twentieth Century"
