Tish Murtha (1956–2013) was a British documentary photographer whose work forms a sustained record of working-class life in late twentieth-century Britain. Raised in Newcastle upon Tyne, Murtha photographed the people and places she lived among, producing images shaped by long-term engagement and close familiarity.
Her photographs document everyday life within specific social and economic conditions, often focusing on children and young people as part of the wider fabric of community life. Rather than seeking dramatic effect, Murtha’s work records ordinary moments with clarity and restraint.
Murtha is now widely recognised as one of the most important British documentary photographers of her generation. Her photographs are held in the permanent collections of the Tate and the Arts Council Collection.
All British Culture Archive editions include a white border around the image. Border widths vary between prints, reflecting the original proportions of each photograph.
For presentation, we recommend using a custom-cut mount sized to the printed image area. This ensures the full image, along with any signature and edition details, remains visible.
A professional framer can advise on appropriate mounting, archival materials, and glazing. Prints may also be framed without a mount if preferred, although a mount is typically used for an exhibition-style finish.
British Culture Archive prints and editions are supplied unframed.
