'Mass photography' assesses the potential of these popular moment-intime projects by examining their historical predecessors. For the first time, it views the vast photographic collections resulting from such projects, analysing their structures and systems, their aims and objectives, and their claims and promises. The central case study is of 55,000 photographs submitted to One Day for Life in 1987, which aimed, in its own time, to be 'the biggest photographic event the world had ever seen'. 'Mass photography' also makes a new and valuable contribution by taking a fresh look at amateur photographic practice on an unprecedented scale. 0aVernacular photographyzGreat BritainxHistoryy20th centuryxCase studies. 4aVernacular photographyxSocial aspects. 4aPhotographyzGreat BritainxHistory. 0aInternational library of visual culture ;v20. 2lcccBK 00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oTR145 .P66 2016pPNLIB21061335r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK c1521d1521
