Scope and contentThis is a collection of works by unidentified artists. The historic period covered is 1500-1900 with particular emphasis on the eighteenth century. The photographs are predominantly of oil paintings but watercolours, drawings, prints, miniature paintings and silhouettes are included. There are files on royal portraits, male portraits, female portraits, group portraits, British school miniatures and silhouettes, British landscapes, foreign landscapes, seascapes, animals, allegorical and still life, interiors, miscellaneous designs, miscellaneous engravings, miscellaneous paintings and drawings.
Acquisition informationPhotographs have been actively acquired by the archive from The Courtauld Institute of Art photographic survey, sale rooms, museums and galleries. The files include original photography commissioned from our own in-house photographer, Douglas Smith (1964-1996) for Paul Mellon Centre publications for which we still hold the negatives.
ArrangementAll photographs are dry mounted on manilla card with essential information recorded, artist, title, collection and source of photograph with a varying degree of information on provenance, literature exhibiting history, inscriptions and related prints. The archive is primarily black and white although in recent years with the development of digital photography we hold some colour material.
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).
