This collection consists of both negatives and prints showing rural crafts and industries in the 1940s.
C F Snow (1903-1984) was a schoolmaster and amateur photographer, who took most of his photos in Southern England during the Second World War.
His photos illustrate many of his wife Mary’s articles in Country Life etc. Snow’s last significant contribution to rural life photography was a commission by Katherine Woods to provide photographs for her detailed survey, Rural Crafts of England (1949).
