Best of the Web: World Photo Day 2016

On 19 August 1839 the French Government purchased the patent for the daguerreotype process and announced it as a “free gift to the world” – World Photo Day commemorates this event. We decided to change Best of the Web slightly this week and have asked everyone at 21 Downham Road to suggest the work of a photographer that they like.
