The Druids’ Search for Light Collection #3
We came into possession of some new photographs of the Druids over late autumn.

A Fortune Teller and Her Apprentice
These exquisite images depict an often ignored and misunderstood community of travellers who occassionally passed through Victorian England during the earlier part of the 19th century.
