Where do dreams begin?
Fabrizio Massari and I shared a dream over 20 years ago.
I don’t recall how we first became friends, living in towns 80 miles apart. Fabrizio collected camera, while I collected the sort of photographs that his cameras might…
"Well done, Sean. The earlier edition was invaluable! Particularly useful for British collectors is the systematic dating plan for Beard Patentee mats, and Beard studio images."
"I would be very interested in reading a transcript of your talk, Eric. I would love to attend, but I live in Italy which makes things difficult. Is there any chance of discovering more? "
"Even greater thanks to Dr Marcus Bunyan for a more ample review and survey on his wonderful ART BLAT website of the images from my collection (s) which were recently shown at the Biblioteca Panizzi in Reggio Emilia,…"
"Many thanks to Dr Marcus Bunyan for reviewing the exhibition of my post mortem collection in Reggio Emilia. If he cares to contact me (mijaco@tin.it), I will be happy to send him a copy of the illustrated booklet which accompanied the exhibition."
"Let's hope that the National Portrait Gallery, or the Bodleian Library, comes up with the winning bid. These plates should have been gifted to the nation..."
"A remarkable man, always ready to answer questions and provide leads. His work on Richard Beard was groundbreaking. Derek will be fondly remembered by anyone who came into contact with him. "
Hi Michael! I’m sorry but unfortunatlly I really havent the faintest idea. If you tell me that the photographer is British I can’t even suggest you anything. If he is Italian there was in Rome a very nice old, not too in shape, I wonder if he’s still alive, man who wrote several books e n Italian photographers mid XIX century. If you are interested I can try to find his name...
