This is the result of discovering over 80,000 photographs, untouched and unseen for decades.

In December 2021, a large crate, covered in messy handwriting and wrapped in bin bags, was opened in a garage near London, U.K.

These were photographs taken by my late Grandfather Herbert Smith, who travelled around the world between 1945-87, taking photos as he went.

By the time he passed away in the late 1980s, he had travelled to over forty countries, as far flung as Afghanistan, Japan, New Zealand and Guatemala. Many of these places were visited at a time totally unrecognisable today.
