About the workSometimes you can see some things better in a photograph than directly in front of the object itself. Long before photography was recognised as museum-worthy in its own right, it was used as a technical tool for cataloguing objects in museum collections. The detailed images of precious objects from European aristocratic houses by the British Charles Clifford's become works of art themselves, thanks to the photographers' technical skills.
