Slight tweaks were made to contrast and conversion to mono for final presentation. • The historic photographer of the year awards is a joint venture between two cultural brands, Trip Historic, the leading online travel guide to the world’s historic sites, and History Hit, which brings unique content and insight from some of the UK’s best known historians and academics.
