1.30 -- 6.00pm
How and what did the Victorians see? From blinking to staring,
observing, voyeurism, to conjuring spectral visions of the dead, the
Victorian imaginaire derived much of its power from the aqueous life of
the eyeball. But to what worlds, both real and imagined, did their
manifold forms of visualisation take them?
