FORMAT13: FACTORY
The Archive of Modern Conflict
Notes Home celebrates the holiday time of factory workers, a key and vital part of their working lives and occasions that were eagerly anticipated and commented on through postcards sent back to friends and family.
Featuring postcards sent home from English holiday resorts like Morecambe and Blackpool right through the twentieth century, Timothy Prus and Edwin Jones from the renowned Archive of Modern Conflict, have selected and edited the postcards, some of which have been enlarged for this exhibition.
Notes Home also features brochures and posters that were part and parcel of the holiday experience. The Archive of Modern Conflict (AMC) is an independent publisher based in London which mostly publishes books with or about photography and art. Established 20 years ago in London, it contains around 4 million photos including works by many well-known figures as well as thousands of unknown photographers.
