Art we’ve helped buy at Cromer Museum
Thanks to an Art Fund grant, the museum displays a nationally important collection of photographs by pioneering North Norfolk photographer Olive Edis. The photographs, taken between 1905 and 1955, include sepia images of fisherman from Cromer and Sheringham, and a rare series of autochromes – the first true colour photographs. Edis was also renowned for her portraiture and the collection contains her photographs of King George VI, David Lloyd George, Thomas Hardy and Cromer lifeboat hero Henry Blogg.
