Mark Davis staat bekend als een documentarist, historicus en bekroond fotograaf met een scherp sociaal geweten. Zijn fascinatie voor de verloren wereld van het Victoriaanse Groot-Brittannië blijkt uit talrijke hoog aangeschreven boeken, die zich vaak richten op misdaad, armoede en ontbering. Met zijn alziende lens documenteert Davis onvermoeibaar vergeten hoeken van het verleden, waarbij hij verhalen van plaatsen en mensen aan het licht brengt die door de geschiedenis zijn over het hoofd gezien. Zijn werk biedt een uniek venster op het verleden, gedreven door de wens om de complexiteit van vervlogen tijdperken te registreren en te begrijpen.
