What do the largest Picasso painting in the world, punky Vivienne Westwood apparel, pins for securing a 17th-century ruff, and a complete Frank Lloyd Wright interior have in common? Thatโll be the Victoria and Albert Museum, the worldโs largest collection of design and applied and decorative arts.

Between 1966 and 1970, a San Francisco-area photographer captured thousands of images documenting civil rights demonstrations, protests, concerts, and so much more. The problem, though, is that no one knows who the photographer is.
