PHOTOGRAPHS

All works are mounted and unframed; the dimensions given are those of the printed surface of each image. All photographs are gelatin silver prints with the exception of #13 (a colour coupler print). All photographs are in fine condition unless otherwise stated.

Provenance: all photographs have come from the collection of Fred Klix, who was not only Mountford's friend and fellow-artist, but as Art Director of Rigby Limited, circa 1965-75, was also directly involved in the successful publication of so many Mountford titles. A certificate to this effect accompanies each photograph.
