I love the story telling Tom Allen has managed to do with his found images plucked out of the old books he has ravaged. They tell new stories, and in these images context is all. That is, the context of the making of the images as well as the context of display and viewing of them. Once made and stored, they will gather dust and sleep inside mouldy pages of creased books again, but their moments of glory are immortalised in excellent photography with good lighting, captured to create a whole world retold through 21st century eyes.
