Francis Frith Photographic Memories

Norfolk Photographic Memories Frith Collection

Bittern Books are delighted to bring you the range of Francis Frith photographic books for the east of England.  These books have been around for some time, but have not been readily available through retail channels for a few years.  Now Frith are using digital printing methods to produce the short runs typical for these sort of books and have appointed Bittern as their stockist and distributor for the range covering the East of England.

Francis Frith started his photographic business in the 1870s, seeing an opportunity to sell souvenir photographs to holiday visitors.  He soon employed teams of photographers around the country and started producing postcards.  After his death in 1899, his sons, and later his grandson, took on and developed the business.  The business continued until 1969 when it finally closed, but the amazing archive of over 300,000 images was saved, and now, almost 50 years later is in the final stages of being digitized and made widely available through the publications and websites of The Francis Frith Collection.

Bittern Books will initially be stocking most of the books for Norfolk and Suffolk and plan to expand our range to include adjoining areas over the coming months.  Our current range is listed below – titles without links are not currently held in stock but can be obtained to order.  Please contact us if there is anything in particular you are looking for.
