A superb complete set of Lévy's cyanotypes depicting English domestic interiors of the 1880s and 90s printed directly from Henry Bedford Lemere's negatives. The photographs primarily document the interiors of houses in England, Scotland, and Wales (as well as a small number of public buildings) and include excellent depictions of paintings and furniture. They include entrance halls, reception rooms, stairwells and fireplaces, with key details such as paintings, furniture, panelling and tiling clearly recorded, all allowing identification.These are rare, though two sets survive in American libraries: at Yale Center for British Art and at the Getty the latter incomplete but with a partial list of subjects, allowing identification of some 50 of the 87 prints Parham Park (Sussex), Astley Hall and Standish Hall (Lancashire), Swan House (Chelsea, London), Monkhams (Woodford, Essex), Curling Hall (Ayrshire) and The Cottage (Walton Heath, Surrey). Of special interest are the three plates (numbers 1-3) of Dawpool, (Thurstaston, Cheshire) home of Thomas Henry Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line, which clearly show Rossetti's painting The Loving Cup purchased by Ismay in 1892. Another is of 49 Prince's Gate, London, home of Frederick Richard Leyland showing another Rossetti, La Pia together with Burne-Jones's Wine of Circe. 49 Prince's Gate was one of the most celebrated aesthetic interiors of the period with a magnificent staircase (transferred from Northumberland House) and many other works of art including French furniture, Flemish tapestries, oriental Porcelain and Italian bronzes. Leyland's collection was sold in 1892, making this image an especially valuable record.'[Bedford Lemere & Co.] was very astute in selling large numbers of its images to architects and craftsmen who wanted to appraise themselves of what their colleagues were doing or build up a body of visual examples for use in their own work' [Culture 24, 7 May 2010]. They also clearly licensed some of their images to publisher's abroad, in this case to Albert Lévy whose celebrated cyanotypes were widely distributed in France and the United States but are now rare in complete sets. 86 cyanotypes (each approximately c. 240 × 295 mm or the reverse, on paper 247 × 302 mm), titled and numbered in the negative, 3 signed 'B.L. & Co', some others with company catalogue number. Loose, without the cloth backed portfolios in which some sets were issued.

Loose leaf. Condizione: vg to fine. 50 cyanotypes (9 1/2 x 11"/ 11 x 9 1/2"), numbered 1 through 50, with white cardboard mats (12 x 16). Housed in a handmade box of modern blue linen cloth over marbled paper boards with black lettering on labels on cover and spine. Containing the original gilt lettered label loosely laid in. Complete set as issued. 'From 1881, and possibly earlier he [Bedford Lemere] produced a printed catalogue of available photographs, with annual supplements thereafter. Individual photographs could be ordered from these catalogues, while for customers who needed illustrations of particular themes, separate lists were available of photographs selected from the existing stock to meet their needs. In 1881 these specialized lists included 'Old-Half timbered and Stone Mansion' and 'Old and modern Queen Anne Residences, Schools etc.' and over the next 20 years many more selections would be available including 'Town and Country Houses and Mercantile Buildings', 'England's Homes: Blenheim, Hatfield, Haddon, Hardwicke [sic] etc.' and several series of furniture and woodwork' (Nicholas Cooper, The Photography of Bedford Lemere & Co. (Swindon, English Heritage, 2011, p.15).' This set was presumably produced for the French speaking market with all images in this set identified on a list provided with this collection. The images present almost exclusively country house interiors focusing on the main rooms of the house, staircases, paneling, etc. Making cyanotype copy prints, from a series of reference or 'master' prints to compile a catalogue would have been an economic solution to providing images though the ease of production method reduced the apparent intrinsic value as images as the blue coloring was considered to be inferior to the sharpness of the original albumen prints. However, such trade publications rarely appear and this collection is a superb example of a photographic trade item from which the specialist purchaser or the public could select images they required. The images then would be printed as albumen prints providing architectural source material. According to Cooper, in 1881, standard albums of 50 or 60 images from the Royal Architectural Museum were available and another album of St. Pancras, containing 20 images, could be purchased. This set of images is a rare example for commercial architectural photography emerging in the late 19th century. Architectural photography was booming at this time, providing a practical, inexpensive way for the client to choose and mix preferences. The known collections of this kind often contained a combination of images as presented here alongside those collected on tours of Europe showing architectural monuments, details and settings of building for urban centers such as Venice, Florence and Rome. No text, except for penciled captions on plates 25, 28, 35 and 37, and complete descriptive list of of images presented here. plate 37 with 4,5 x 4,5 x 6,5" triangular bend in lower left corner affecting one inch of the image. Mat of plate one with some foxing not affecting image, and mats lightly rubbed. Images in fine condition. Manchester University Special Collections holds a set of these rare copies with 50 images. Another set of these images comprising 86 prints was issued. Worldcat lists one those sets of "Intérieurs Anglais" at the Stiftung Bibliothek Werner Oechslin, Switzerland, complete, and at the Getty Research Institute with 82 of 86 cyanotypes, lacking nos. 10, 65, 67 and 81. The Royal Institute of British Architects holds eight photographs from this series, see http:/www.ribapix.com, items RIBA7372RIBA7379. Historic England Archive holds the largest amount of Bedford Lemere & Co. surviving photographs: 21,8000 large-format glass negatives and 3,000 unique prints, comprising one quarter of the firm's estimated total output of 100,000 images.
