The winners of the fourth 2020 Historic Photographer of the Year Awards were unveiled today, and Michael Marsh took the overall title for his transfixing capture of the Grade II-listed, Brighton Palace Pier in England.

Historic Photographer of the Year calls on photographers from around the globe to explore and capture the very best historic places and cultural sites that the world has to offer. This year, of course, photographers had to scour their archives to share their most astonishing imagery of those places which dominate our past.
