Hannah and Arthur

Based on the story of Arthur Munby and Hannah Cullwick.

Extensive use of their diaries has been made.

Hannah, a country servant girl, and Arthur, a Cambridge educated Victorian solicitor who had a passion for photographing working women, fell in love and "enjoyed" a strange relationship, domination on his part and a certain theatricality on hers.

I explore the bizarre aspects of their romance and also the attitudes of Victorian society.
