We welcomed very special guests a Dimbola yesterday. As mentioned earlier Brian May was to host a book signing of A Village Lost and Found. As today 19th July just happens to be Brian May’s birthday, we enjoyed an impromptu pre birthday party bash with cake in the Seminar room.
Brian May and his wife Anita Dobson are a delightful couple and they went out of their way to interact with everyone who attended the very successful book signing.
The Isle of Wight Digital Imaging Group would like to wish Brian a very happy birthday and we hope both he and Anita enjoy this special day on the Isle of Wight.
Which reminds me there will be another special birthday celebration at Dimbola this week. I have been sworn to secrecy but rest assured all will be revealed on Wednesday along with a birthday cake.
In the book, Brian May and photographic historian Elena Vidal present an exhaustive study of the 1850s stereoscopic photographic series “Scenes in Our Village” by T R Williams. With over 50 images, along with extensive related material, including many corresponding photographs of the village as it is today, the authors present a fascinating insight into a village lost and found.
The exhibition is on display in the Seminar room until 25th September 2011
Island Pulse have produced extensive coverage of A Village Lost and Found Exhibition please view links here: website.
