I have always loved pictures. When I developed an interest in the family history, after researching the genealogy, copying the beautiful family photos became a compulsion. Added to these, are of course many I have taken myself of a variety of situations.

Only a sample will be shown here, it will convey an idea of the variety of material produced. TV and film costume and set designers are especially catered for and relevent to this collection. Part of the collection is for reference purposes only and a portion for reproduction.

Please contact me for further details, a sample range as required and terms.

I have catalogued over 800 family photos spanning from 1850-1970, negatives from 1905, daguerrotypes from 1855, actual dresses from 1804 and 1855, shoes from 1843 and numerous artefacts revealing the history of living in the last 200 years. This includes my own photography from recent travels and projects.

Thus has grown the picture library. The images are either scanned prints or negatives. Modern photographs are taken with my Nikon and Hasselblad.

Lifestyle: 1810-1970; negatives from 1905; colour images from 1946,
Ephemera: 1920-1940; (photo wallets from 1915, letterheads 19th century onwards, train travel, tickets etc. 1930s . . .
Modern general photography: 1985- present day,
Travel: American South; interiors; Venice; Gardens, plants, Devon, Burgh Island aerial views.
