Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
Help needed:
I have just been sent a very poor photocopy of a published photograph of my great grandfather Henry Sutton, the photograph was published in an old Australian magazine and the printing quality is not very good. The photograph was taken in london around 1891/2 by Herbert Rose Barraud who was in Oxford St at the time. Henry was a notable Australian inventor and this photograph is quite an historic and important one to Australian history. I know it may be a long shot but as the photographer was quite well known as was Henry I was wondering if a copy of the photograph might be in a collection or book etc in England.
If anyone can help with suggestions on where I might look or has access to Barraud's photographs and could have a look for me please contact me, I can supply a photocopy of the photograph if need be.
