Scope and content This series comprises images of works by sculptors who were British by birth, foreign sculptors who worked in Britain or on British subjects. The sculptures featured date from c.1600 to c.1900. Images are primarily of sculptures, but also feature sketches for sculptural projects. Images remain in their original order: organised A–Z by sculptor. There are separate boxes for the following sculptors: Bacon Junior and Senior, Chantrey, Flaxman, Gott, Nollekens, Roubiliac, Rysbrack, Scheemakers and Wilton / Wyatt.

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).

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).
