What did Sussex mean to renowned photographer Dorothy Bohm?

A candid and often humorous window of 1960s and 70s Sussex, captured through the lens of celebrated photographer Dorothy Bohm.

Dorothy Bohm (b.1924) is renowned for her portraiture and street photography of London, Paris and Moscow. This group of photographs – never before shown as a complete body of work – reveal Bohm’s personal connections with Sussex, the county in which she arrived from Nazi Europe in 1939.

De’Longhi Print Room exhibitions are free to enter.

“A glimpse in time.”
