Wonderful Photos - Backdrop to “Black Victorians”
The upcoming GDIF performance here at St George's of "Black Victorians" - on 29th and 30th August - see EVENTS - was inspired by superb images curated and shown in Autograph’s Black Chronicles II. See these photos in "London Stereoscopic Co" and "Carte de Visites" on line at

The people in these old images came to England in the context of those days as visitors or to stay and develop or establish communities including many from countries now in the Commonwealth for example India, South Africa, Canada, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and the West Indies, and provide a link to our Commonwealth Garden Project - see our ABOUT section..
