Sawyer and Bird – online resource

[Robert Pols]

An area devoted to John Sawyer and Walter Bird (of Norwich and elsewhere) can now be found on the Early Photographic Studios website at http://www.early-photographers.org.uk/S&B01%20Index.html. It includes separate timelines for Sawyer, Bird and their partnerships, a note on Sawyer’s rivalry with Oliver Sarony, a dating guide for early Sawyer carte mounts, and several other documents.

 

The Sawyer & Bird folder represents work in progress and is far from a systematic study, but it’s hoped that it may contain items of interest to anyone seeking to investigate the careers of these photographers.
