Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, 1853 - 1941. Album of 48 sepia-toned photographs made from Sutcliffe's original negatives by Bill Eglon Shaw in Whitby in the mid-1970's. Oblong quarto. Handsome morocco-backed boards.
A magnificent album of Sutcliffe's photographs--actual silver gelatin prints--showing the seaport, townspeople, village, and activities of Whitby in the Victorian age. Twenty-two of the images are large (up to 8 by 10 inches) and twenty-six are smaller (approximately 4 by 6 inches). 'The Water Rats,' 'Excitement,' and many of his other well-known genre images taken in the coastal Yorkshire village are included. Sutcliffe began photographing in the early 1870's and was a founding member of The Linked Ring in Britain.
Very fine. |
