Description

James Ravilious trained as an artist, but a Cartier-Bresson exhibition converted him to photography, which he taught himself. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a new creative path.

In 1972, Ravilious made the move to his wife's homeland in rural North Devon, where he found the perfect job: recording the daily life of a traditional, unspoilt part of England. The results were nothing short of remarkable, with over 75,000 black and white negatives in the Beaford Archive.

These photographs, as described by Barry Lane, Secretary General of the Royal Photographic Society, form a unique body of work of unparalleled scale and quality in the UK.
