A selection of mysterious and striking 'found' photographs: 'Touching, shocking, comical and banal snapshots to ignite your imagination' Tatler

A side effect of the rise of photography as a popular art form has been the accumulation of a huge body of images whose photographers and subjects remain unknown. Among these are many fascinating photographs - some almost masterpieces - that could easily have been lost forever, were it not for their chance rediscovery in libraries and archives, homes and institutions.

This title in the Photofile series presents over 100 of these mysterious and highly collectable images. They portray a striking range of people, animals and objects, captured in scenes that may be witty, touching, sinister or surreal. As viewers, our imaginations are immediately engaged as we try to reconstruct the story behind each picture, and the collection as a whole forms a quirky, alternative history of photography as a medium and its endless power to surprise.

The Photofile Series
Photofile brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive, accessible, pocket-sized format. Handsome and collectable, the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains over sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
