Title: Francis Frith??
Post by: zharsanyi72 on May 20, 2011, 10:23:21 pm

I have a very interesting photo.This photo was  in the box with bunch of other photos,including a few Francis Frith photos.

The second and the 3-4 photos could be some famous photographer work,because this box was full with valuable photos.
Please help to identify the photos .

Thank you!

Good Morning .. It is often virtually impossible to attribute photographs to a particular photographer unless they are signed or have a label on the back or, as with Frith, they were reproduced into postcards. I actually know one of his descendants but he wouldn't be able to authenticate the odd photo as Frith was very prolific. There is still someone who runs something called the Francis Frith Collection, who might be able to give you some idea, based upon the eras and the style, whether yours could be Frith's.

I do know that his cards are quite collectable, but this person is living in hope!
