Scope and content This series comprises images of sketchbooks; albums of drawings; manuscripts; rare books; sale catalogues and occasionally works on paper. It is a somewhat idiosyncratic group, but all items are related to British art and artists active between c.1500 and c.1900. Images are ordered in groups related to the physical object photographed (e.g. individual sketchbook, etc.). A number of artists are well represented including, in particular, Sir Joshua Reynolds, John Talman, David Jones, James Ward, Richard Cosway, Philip James de Loutherbourg and Henry Bone.
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).
