Shipwreck photograph collection for sale by Sotheby’s
Sotheby’s is auctioning a remarkable archive of 1000 negatives of shipwreck images taken a period of nearly 130 years by the Gibson family of photographers over four generations – see a gallery of the shots here.
Do read the notes with each one – some of them are as vivid as the shots themselves – check out the fate of the Granite Slate and the Horsa. My thanks to Griselda Mussett for spotting this one.
The Englishman’s eye: Matthew Atkin photographs Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco
It’s been a while since we published a set of photos from a harbour stroll – so I was delighted when my photography enthusiast brother Matthew Atkin sent these over from Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco.
He’s a runner and photographer rather than a boater, so can’t say too much about the boats themselves – but that doesn’t prevent him from taking a fine set of photos. Thanks Matt!
Of course explanatory comments – see the comments link below – would be most welcome.
As usual these days, click on one of the images to see this set on a carousel. There are links in the carousel that allow you to see still larger copies of these shots, which are sized at a healthy 1300 pixels.
