Coventry PS is pleased to announce its collaboration with the George Eliot Fellowship for a series of exhibitions during 2019 and 2020 linked to the George Eliot bicentenary celebrations. A 1919 newspaper article revealed that members of Coventry PS undertook a pictorial survey of the locations used by George Eliot in her books and those prints formedpart of a George Eliot centenary exhibition. Some of the original images were printed in a book, a copy of which is held by the Culture CoventryHistory Archives (CCHA). Its discovery

prompted members to undertake a similar exercise to celebrate Eliot’s bicentenary in 2019. The exhibitions will display copies of the original photographs taken in 1919 and images taken of those locations in 2019 by members. The exhibitions start in September at the George Eliot Heritage Centre in Nuneaton and then at the Albany Theatre, Coventry. Details will be on the CPS’s and the Fellowship’s sites. georgeeliot2019.com coventryphotographicsociety. co.uk
