The Longest Way Round by Chris Dorley-Brown

A collection of works by British photographer Chris Dorley-Brown.

"The Longest Way Round is a visual exploration of the author's family history, combining historical photographs with new ones taken by the author. Having discovered a treasure trove of archival material not intended for family albums, Dolly-Brown presents a multi-layered, alternative story about the events that shaped the second half of the 20th century. Love and war are central themes in the book: Chris' father, Peter, was a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II, his mother a war bride, and the aftereffects of war lingering in the home. To uncover a disappearing history and at the same time connect past experiences to the present, Dolly-Brown has photographed his own contemporary past alongside historical photographs of his deceased parents, family letters, and wartime documents." - Publisher's description
