Views by Frank Good from his 'Eastern Series'
Frank
Mason Good (1839-1928) was a photographic chemicals manufacturer who turned
his hand to photography with stunning results. He was at one time assistant
to Francis Frith who sponsored his first trip to the Middle East (1866/67).
His early training meant that his processing was of the highest quality
and apart from his views of the Middle East, he produced fine views of
Greece and Turkey. Tex Treadwell describes his views of England as 'unexceptional'
but anyone who saw the collection of his views of the Tower of London which
we sold some time ago would take issue with that.
Overall
he is grossly undervalued in the pecking order of 19th century stereographers.
He died at the age of 90 forgotton and unknown. Although his work is in
the Getty collection and many others it is high time his work was reevaluated
and reinstated to the position it deserves.
These views stray into the territory of Palestine but I wanted to keep them in one place. They are from his 'Eastern Series'.
