Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
One of British photography's most recognisable and charismatic photograph dealers and collectors, Janette Rosing, has died. There is a short obituary in the Antiques Trade Gazette from Pierre Spake and other tributes will be forthcoming. Janette was a regular buyer at auction and fairs from the early 1980s and often had a table at the London photograph fairs.

Very sad news; we were friends for nearly 40 years; collaborators and fellow obsessive collectors of, and dealers in, early Indian photography. She was always happy to share material from her own collection, for book projects. Always a profound source of knowledge on all aspects of photographic history, she deserved to be far more widely known and respected; however her intense desire for privacy meant that only a very few fellow collectors, researchers and dealers really knew her or of her wonderful collections and immense fund of knowledge. I will miss her, and will always regret never having had the chance to say farewell.
