Fay Godwin was one of Britain’s greatest landscape photographers. In 1985 she achieved both popular and critical success with her exhibition and accompanying book Land—a celebration of the British landscape. To mark the 25th anniversary of this exceptional project, we displayed a selection of prints from the original exhibition.
