Anthony Kersting

His images of British, European, and Middle Eastern architecture also feature urban and village life, landscape, commerce, transport and leisure.

Kersting was born in 37 Frewin Road in Wandsworth, South London, and studied at Dulwich College, where he developed an interest in photography.

[2] In 1936 the publication in newspapers of his photographs depicting the new Peter Jones department store influenced a change in career.

In 1947, Kersting was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and, in 1999, an exhibition of his photographs was held at the Wandsworth Museum.

[1] The complete archive of Kersting's black and white prints, glass and film negatives, and hand-written ledgers[4] is now held in the Conway Library,[5] the architectural photography collection of the Courtauld Institute of Art, an independent college of the University of London.
