Victorian Britain on Film

Victorian Britain on Film offers audiences a unique window into a bygone era when a thrilling invention - the motion picture camera, first captures a nation on film. Most of these films have been transformed by colourising them for the first time, allowing Britain to be seen as the Victorians themselves would have seen it, ordinary life and extraordinary events recorded a century and a quarter ago. The films offer a rare portrait of a powerful and prosperous nation - and Empire - on the cusp of great change.
