- It is described on the engraving as in the possession of Ryland & Bryer and is mentioned in Benjamin Booth's unpublished notes as an unspecified collection, but (later in the manuscript) as belonging to Ryland. There is nothing is show whether this is the Ceyx & Alcyone sold Christie's, 1780 by an Unknown owner, bought Linnell (see Redford, Art sales) There is also nothing but subject to connect either picture with the one exhibited at Derby, 1870 (6), lent A. M. Mundy; The latter is probably the painting here reproduces, since on the stretcher is the fragment of what seems to be an exhibition label with letters ERBY. On the stretcher is also a label of T. Ruchworth, Sadler St., Durham, Which suggests it having been in a north of England collection. Acquired by Albert Du Vannes, N. Y.

Scope and content This series comprises images of works by artists who were British by birth, foreign artists who worked in Britain or foreign artists who painted British sitters abroad. The works featured date from c.1500 to c.1900. The images in this series form by far the largest part of the Photographic Archive. Images remain in their original order: organised A–Z by artist name. Significant artists, or those for which there is a wealth of material, have multiple folders of images. In these cases, images are further subdivided by genre or type, depending on the artist. They may also be organised in ‘catalogue raisonné order’. The images predominantly depict oil paintings but prints and other works on paper are also included.
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).
