#SightsofWonder shows us how the British viewed themselves in 1862, and how these sites were perceived by the Victorians.

Photography vs painting – creatively manipulated, both can influence our perception of subjects. How does this affect our understanding of #SightsofWonder?
Co-curator Zuzanna Pela, Art History & Curating student @unibirmingham, explores these ideas.

A compelling composition - rectangle within rectangle - this 1862 photograph captures the huge scale of the Temple of Edfu.
Built over 2,000 years ago, it was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian God of Sky, Horus.

The final theme of @engagevisualart's #ChildrensArtWeek is 'Literary and Creative Writing'.

While the Prince of Wales, Albert Edward, was travelling through the Middle East in 1862, the Victorian public stayed up-to-date via newspapers - including weekly reports and engravings in 'The Illustrated London News'. 📰

Queen Victoria's coronation was #onthisday in 1838.👑 She & Prince Albert were passionate about photography.
At her request, photographer Francis Bedford joined the royal tour of 1862 with their son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales.

Fashionable Victorian artist Alma-Tadema used Francis Bedford’s photographs from the 1862 royal tour to inform his artworks.
Here's his sketch of column capitals from @CadburyRL @unibirmingham. He died #onthisday in 1912.

Capturing this incredible view, 'Bethlehem, from the roof of the Convent', meant clambering up high with cumbersome camera equipment. 📷
Bedford's photos were the first of their kind seen by the Victorian public in 1862 ➡️ https://t.co/fQOTISkLx8 #SightsofWonder @RCT
