Due to unforeseen circumstances our talk on 2 September 2023 titled Herbert Ponting and the Royal Photographic Society has been cancelled.

We apologise for any inconveninece caused.

The Royal Photographic Society was established in 1853 to promote the art and science of photography. Through its annual exhibition and monthly meetings it provided a forum for professional and amateur photographers, scientists and others to engage with the medium. Herbert Ponting joined the RPS in 1922 and became a Fellow using his friendships and professional relationships, especially that with the photographic engineer Arthur Newman to support his own activities.
