Scope and content This series comprises a small group of images focused exclusively on decorative painting. Images are organised by location, as follows: · London and UK, various individual houses (6 boxes) · Greenwich (1 box) · Ham House (1 box) · Hampton Court (1 box) · Kensington Palace (1 box) · London churches (1 box) · Wallington (1 box) · Whitehall (1 box). Photographs used in the publication of Early Georgian Interiors by John Cornforth (London: Yale University Press, 2004) are also included in this series.

Acquisition information The collection has always been in the possession of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (or its predecessor institution, the Paul Mellon Foundation).

ArrangementThe archive has been arranged in its original order.

Conditions governing use The images in the Photographic Archive are derived from a variety of sources, so copyright in the collection is varied. The copyright status of each image is detailed at item level in the catalogue.

Accruals It is anticipated that new images may be added to the Centre’s Photographic Archive in future. These may be generated via the Centre’s everyday activities (such as the publishing programme). They may also come from external sources (such as donations by scholars or institutions).

Related material in Collected Archives The Collected Archives at the Paul Mellon Centre – particularly the Ellis Waterhouse, Frank Simpson, Oliver Millar and John Hayes collections – contain significant volumes of images of works by British Artists.
