Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
Tags:
Hi, Mark. I rather suspect you will have sources pretty well covered but if there is anything I can assist with do let me know. I have read the BJP and PN from their respective start dates to 1914 and I have a large number of references and copies from these on various aspects of photographic commerce and specific themes relevant for my own PhD studies so there may be something there which might of use... Michael.
Hello Mark. I know a private collector in Oxford who had 550 Silvy cartes de visite last time we spoke. I am happy to put you in touch. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Silvy's sitter's books could be published to co-incide with this exhibition? I am interested in Silvy's carte de visite work as a collector and in connection with a history I am preparing of the carte de visite in Australia. Please contact me on msafier at ozemail dot com dot au. Cheers! Marcel

Mark: You probably remember that we have a variation of Silvy's hunting still life, trimmed so that the end of the rifle barrel sticks up above the rest of the image. It also shows a slight blurring of the tassels on the bottom of the bag, presumably caused by a breeze. I can send a JPEG if you don't have a copy.
