About the IPE:
The International Photography Exhibition is steeped in history, having been held almost every year since 1854 - the year after The Society was founded. In the early years, the exhibition included work from some of the world's most eminent photographers including Julia Margaret Cameron, Roger Fenton, Edward Steichen and others.
Now in its 161st year, it is the longest running exhibition of its kind in the world.
