25 black & white reproductions on DVD created by Adolf de Meyer. A member of the Royal Photographic Society known for his elegant portraits of famous people.

Adolf de Meyer was a Paris born photographer who became world famous for his elegant photographic portraits of famous people. Born to a German father and Scottish mother, he was educated in Dresden, and in 1893 joined the Royal Photographic Society, moving to London in 1895. He took the surname Meyer-Watson in 1896 but from 1899 called himself Baron Adolph de Meyer. From 1898 to 1913 he lived in fashionable Cadogan Gardens, London, and between 1903 and 1907 his work was published in Alfred Stieglitz's quarterly Camera Work, Cecil Beaton dubbing him "the Debussy of photography". In 1912 he photographed Nijinsky in Paris.

Although de Meyer used the title Baron and Whitaker's Peerage from 1898 to 1913 said that this had been granted by Frederick Augustus III of Saxony in 1897, no evidence has been found of any such creation by him or any other authority.In 1914, on the outbreak of World War I, he and his wife Olga moved to New York City, where he became a photographer for Vogue, 1914-21, and Vanity Fair. In 1922, having adopted the forename Gayne to mark his spiritual rebirth, de Meyer accepted the offer to become the Harper's Bazaar chief photographer in Paris, spending the next sixteen years there. On the eve of World War II in 1938, de Meyer returned to the United States, and found that he was a relic in the face of the rising modernism of his art. He died in Los Angeles in 1946, his death being registered as 'Gayne Adolphus Demeyer, writer (retired)'[3]. Today, few of his prints survive, most having been destroyed during World War II.

David Octavius Hill was born in 1802 in Perth. His father, a bookseller and publisher, helped to re-establish Perth Academy and David was educated there as were his brothers. When his older brother Alexander joined the publishers Blackwood's in Edinburgh, David went there to study at the School of Design. He learned lithography and produced Sketches of Scenery in Perthshire which was published as an album of views. His landscape paintings were shown in the Institution for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Scotland. He was among the artists dissatisfied with the Institution and helped established a separate Scottish Academy in 1829, with the assistance of his close friend Henry Cockburn. A year later Hill took on unpaid secretarial duties. He sought commissions in book illustration, with four sketches being used to illustrate The Glasgow and Garnkirk Railway Prospectus in 1832, and went on to provide illustrations for editions of Walter Scott and Robert Burns. In 1836 the Royal Scottish Academy began to pay him a salary as secretary, and with this security he married his fiancée Ann Macdonald in the following year, but she was not strong and after the birth of their daughter she became an invalid. He continued to produce illustrations and to paint landscapes on commission.

Robert Adamson was born in St. Andrews, he was hired in 1843 by David Octavius Hill, a painter of romantic Scottish landscapes. He was commissioned to make a group portrait of the 470 clergymen who founded the Free Church of Scotland. Hill required calotypes from which he would paint. Distinguished persons from many fields came to be photographed by the partners. Together they made more than 1,000 portraits and numerous views of Edinburgh between 1843 and 1848, until Adamson died at the age of 26. Hill returned to painting and the partners' great work was not rediscovered until 1872.

50+ black & white reproductions on DVD created by Germaine Krull. A Modernist Photographer whose life spanned nine decades and photographed varied subjects from war to fashion, architecture to portraiture. She was ranked with notables Man Ray and Andre Kertesz. 

Described by Jean Cocteau as a “reforming mirror”, the Modernist photographer Germaine Krull took on subjects as diverse as fashion, war and architecture. Born in Wilda, East Prussia, Krull studied photography in Munich. After being imprisoned and then deported from Russia she moved to Berlin in 1922, where her work comprised fashion and advertising, nudes and street photography. The central theme of Krull’s work is the modern city, which she depicted in radical angles and near-abstract close-ups. Her urban and industrial images were regularly published across Europe and having moved to Paris in 1928, Krull was acknowledged as one of the three top photographers, along with Man Ray and André Kertész. According to Ms Sichel, “Her greatest contribution as a photographer is the industrial, geometric abstractions that she did in Holland and France in the 1920s, the work for which she is best known. However, it is equally important to look at her pioneeing street work. In the press of the time Krull and André Kertész were the two names everyone cited. They were the people to look at and learn from, whether you were Cartier-Bresson or Brassai or Doisneau, or anybody.”

75+ Lee FSA Color & B/W Documentary Photographs 

Russell Lee joined the photographic staff of the Resettlement Administration (RA), which was renamed the Farm Security Administration (FSA) in 1937. Both the RA and the FSA were New Deal programs created to assist poor and destitute farmers during the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. He worked directly under the creative supervision of Roy Stryker, the head of the Historical Section and the director of photographic projects.
The Historical Section’s purpose and function was to publicize and gain national support for the FSA, through the dissemination of photographs illustrating the plight of tenant farmers, sharecroppers, and migrant workers. Stryker’s documentary team created 77,000 still photographs from 1935 until 1942; many of these were published in a variety of newspapers, books and magazines. His graphic designers and editors produced posters and exhibitions of these photographs that toured cities around the United States, educating mostly urban Americans about the country’s rural problems.
His colleagues at the FSA included Ben Shahn, Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein, Jack Delano and Walker Evans. Like most of his colleagues, Russell shot both 35mm and medium format film for the FSA.

80 Vintage reproductions by Jessie Tarbox Beals of rural and city landscapes, portraits of natives from many different countries, and famous people of the time.

Photographer and photojournalist. Born Jessie Tarbox on December 23, 1870, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

She married Alfred Tennyson Beals in 1897.

Jessie Tarbox Beals taught her husband how to develop negatives and make prints. In 1900, she left teaching and pursued photography full time with her husband as her assistant.

40 Taunt Reproductions of Victorian life in Oxfordshire and surrounding areas. Taunt created a visual map of the Thames, including wonderful views of events and fashion, activities and everyday life.

Henry Taunt's black and white photographs are mainly views of Oxford, Oxfordshire (together with surrounding counties) and the River Thames. He produced the first pocket guide to the River Thames to be illustrated with photographs. In the 1860s, it covered the upper Thames, but it expanded its range over several editions. The wet collodion process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer, was the best means to capture negative images on glass until the end of the 1870s, by which time many of Taunt’s pictures for his ‘Illustrated Map of the Thames’ had been taken. He would row his skiff to a location, set up his dark tent, set up his camera and tripod, sensitise and coat the glass plate, immediately make the two or three second exposures, develop and fix the images, wash them in river water, perhaps dry them in the sun and row back to his lodgings or set up camp with his assistants. At the beginning of the 1860s this was an incredible feat of skill. Henry Taunt was at the cutting edge of Victorian location photographic technology.

In 1893, Henry Taunt was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. This was a considerable honour in recognition of the remarkable feat of cartography and accuracy of measurements that featured in the ‘New Map of the Thames’. Books such as ‘Three Men in a Boat’ or ‘Wind in the Willows’ might never have been written, or certainly would not have achieved such popularity, were it not for his albums, postcards, lectures and detailed and enthusiastic descriptions of the Thames from its Cotswold source to London.
