John Hannavy is a photographer, writer, and photographic historian,
and the author of many books and several hundred magazine articles on
travel, heritage, and photography – all illustrated with his own original
photography – and on photographic history. His work regularly appears
in several leading magazines in Britain, covering all aspects of
heritage and travel, exploring Australia, China, Egypt, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Ukraine, Wales
and elsewhere. His books exploring Victorian and Edwardian
life in Britain through old photographs have been well received, as
have his many books, exhibitions and television films on photographic
history over the past thirty-five years.
