....These photographs pasted into this album tell extraordinary stories of an extraordinary period of years. And what I found so profoundly touching about it in a sense was what is being covered here, Lee Miller documenting some of the horrors of the Second World War and its aftermath, balanced with photographs from different areas of the arts, which herald a kind of an ambition to emerge from this war with hope and possibility intact. And I think that equation, you could never sum it up in one picture somehow, but the narrative that is woven through this album brings all that history, all those emotions back to life...
