Kenneth H. Frith Jr. is known for Another 48 Hrs. (1990), Se7en (1995) and Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995).
Francis Frith & Co., the company he founded in 1860 with the initial goal of photographing every town and village in England, quickly became the largest photographic publishers in the world and eventually amassed a collection of 330,000 negatives covering over 7,000 population centres across Great Britain and Ireland. [2]
The Collection is full of photos showing landmarks that have been lost to time or modern life. Take a fascinating and nostalgic trip back to see these scenes as they were when first captured by the Frith company's team of photographers up to 100 years ago.
