Selecting images

Were are in the throes of choosing the images that will form the core collection offered on the website, the 500-600 key works that will tell the story of the silhouette in the UK through the last 250 years. It's a little more challenging than might first be imagined, assembling a definitive collection, for example, not all the works can be dated with precision, sometimes you would like a work by a particular artist but one is not readily available and occasionally there's an overwhelming choice!

We will be providing the proposed list of the works on the website in a few months time, we'd value your comments once it's uploaded. You can contact us via: team@profilesofthepast.org.uk
