Stewart & Skeels

Private dealers based in London and Scotland, we specialise in 19th and early 20th century photographs and photographically illustrated books, primarily focusing on the work of British photographers. We also act as agents for the sale of photographic collections, with an emphasis on placing significant historical work in public institutions. This year we will bring colour to Photo London, in works that reveal that from the earliest days of photography, colour was an important element, whether through the addition of hand-applied pigments or the use of processes that were not the familiar brown tones of albumen prints. We plan to exhibit hand-coloured, autochrome, cyanotype, tri-chrome carbro and photochrom prints, as well as daguerreotypes.
