This is the audio version of the blog post 'Can Tony Kersting Take You To Your Home Town?'. The post was written by Faye Fornasier, Digitisation Manager for the Courtauld Connects project. It was first published on 4 May 2018. The audio version is read by Tanya Goodman-Bailey, who is a digitisation volunteer.
In this blog, Faye goes looking for her home town (Belluno in Italy) among the prints, negatives, and hand-written ledgers in Anthony Kersting's collection. Kersting's photographs came to the Courtauld in 2008 after he passed away. Happily, Faye finds her home town, and she examines some of the similarities and differences between the views captured by Kersting and from her memories. She also explains how piecing together the accession numbers written on the prints and negatives with the more detailed ledger entries is a very important task of the digitisation project.
