Ppresents a talk in the Village Hall by Jessica Sutcliffe on the subject of ‘Helen Muspratt: Photographer’ who became very well known in Swanage.
A lifelong communist, member of the Cambridge intellectual milieu of the 1930s, and a working mother at a time when such a role was unusual for women of her class. She was also a pioneering photographer, creating an extraordinary body of work in many different styles and genres.
