“I am delighted that The Society is celebrating such a remarkable milestone in the photographic world. The achievement of staging the International Print Exhibition for 150 years, demonstrates the significance of The Society and this unique Exhibition in the history and promotion of photography internationally. This year’s Exhibition is of exceptional quality, and the diversity of styles and genres very much reflects the ethos of the annual Print Exhibition as well as reflecting what is happening in the photographic world today. Cutting edge images can be seen alongside traditional prints, so there is something to please everyone. It is an outstanding Exhibition.”
Lesley Goode, RPS Exhibitions Manager

To celebrate this special 150th anniversary, The Society is also showcasing a Retrospective Exhibition, with images and text on the historical aspect of the Internatiojnal Print Exhibition, to be shown alongside the 150th International Print Exhibition. This Exhibition can be hired independently.
