seaJane Posted 22 October , 2015 Author Share Posted 22 October , 2015 I've stopped looking at anything below the article! (sort of mental Queensberry rules). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 22 October , 2015 Share Posted 22 October , 2015 Yes, I shall follow your example. Is there an accessible index of the photos still held by the studio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 22 October , 2015 Share Posted 22 October , 2015 This from the BBC 2014 The current owner of the studio, Tom Reeves, great-grandson of Edward Reeves who opened the business, said the shop had been handed from father to son and father to son "all the way down". He said the shop had kept all its negatives and also the business ledgers that went with them, forming the Edward Reeves Archive, which will now be catalogued and made more accessible.

charlie962 Posted 22 October , 2015 Share Posted 22 October , 2015 and this on a current exhibition by Reeves click With the ledgers presumably come the names. I wonder how many portraits of WW1 soldiers exist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 22 October , 2015 Author Share Posted 22 October , 2015 Thanks for the link to the Reeves archive, Charlie. It's just possible that some of my family came from Lewes so I'm rather intrigued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIFFO Posted 23 October , 2015 Share Posted 23 October , 2015 yesterday on tv in an interview Brian Adams mentioned last year he produced a book of his photographs, titled I think wounded, the photos are of troops wounded in battle so I suppose this is then and now, never saw it on any news broadcast even tho the photos are stunningBiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
