From Odeons to High Rise: The Photography of John Maltby

An exhibition that examines the work of one of Britain’s finest architectural and social photographers, John Maltby (1910–1980), whose archive is held by the RIBA Library Photographs Collection. Beginning with a commission for the Odeon cinema chain in the 1930s, Maltby enjoyed a long-lasting and diverse career that embraced work for architects, manufacturers and designers, among them Tecton, the Design Research Unit and Sir Terence Conran, in addition to a clutch of magazines from The Architect & Building News to Modern Woman.
