About the Photographer
Thomas Blower has spent over five decades documenting life in Manchester. His photographs capture the city’s people, politics, and cultural landscape from the 1970s to today — a vital record of working-class life and social change.
Exhibitions
Framing
All British Culture Archive prints and editions are supplied unframed and include a white border around the image. Border widths vary according to the proportions of each photograph.
If a mount is used, ask your framer to ensure that the full image, signature and edition details remain visible. A professional framer can advise on suitable archival mounting, glazing and frame options. Prints may also be framed without a mount.
Delivery
All British Culture Archive prints and editions are inspected and securely packaged before dispatch. Smaller prints are sent flat, while larger prints are rolled and sent in sturdy fine art tubes.
Orders are sent via Royal Mail Tracked and are normally delivered within 3–7 working days. Tracking details are provided once your order has been dispatched.
