There are some views with minor damage which
I have included. All damage is noted. Apart from the odd single-sheet view, these are all
professional views - many by Ferrier and Soulier.
Glass is difficult to photograph -there
are various marks caused by light reflection. I will try to mention all marks that actually appear on the images. Some views are much lighter than others.
In general that is because the sun came out when I was photographing some - a rare
occurence in England.
The camera has struggled with a few - especially the interior statue views
with a black opaque background. It has decided to put red spots and milky reflections in here
and there but, in general, I think you will agree that the photos are pretty
good.Images
are taken photographically (scanners do not work with glass views due to
refraction). They are all taken in natural sunlight and are not enhanced
or sharpened. Where there is an expanse of blank sky I have moved in on
the image where possible and cut out the sky area. The full extent of each
view can be seen on the image of the whole view. First image is the left
and the second is the right.
Postage
on glass views will be charged at cost to us. As an indication, one view
costs $18 to the US. For $75 we can get secure insured shipping from Fedex
for 2 kg (4.5 lbs) in weight. This represents about 12 views plus packaging. Please note: We GUARANTEE safe arrival.
Please
enjoy these views as I have, and marvel at their brilliance. Each thumbnail,
when clicked, will produce a large image.
