Our approach
Keep the story together
Original envelopes, annotations, sequencing, studio marks, invoices, addresses and correspondence can be as historically important as the individual objects themselves.
Where possible, we prefer to preserve a coherent archive as a single historical group rather than divide it into unrelated individual items.
For significant collections we can research, catalogue and approach suitable specialist collectors, libraries, archives, museums, foundations and other institutions.
Victorian focus
Victorian collections
We are especially interested in nineteenth-century groups combining handwritten documents, letters, invoices, receipts, manuscripts and portrait photography, where the original relationship between the items is still intact.
