Image:Face-of-Britain-chaptershot3.jpg
The historian explores how portraiture has the power to immortalise love, and is instrumental in fulfilling the desire to keep loved ones close by fixing their faces in time. He begins with Sir Kenelm Digby's attempt to bring his wife back to life through a series of portraits, before looking at the portrait miniatures from the Prince of Wales's love affair with Maria Fitzherbert. He reveals art made for love not money with Thomas Gainsborough's portrait of his daughters, and Lewis Carroll's attempts to stop time in his photographs of Alice Liddell.
