Found a reference to a book called Camera on the Crags, which contains
pictures taken by the Abraham brothers, just wondering if anyone owns or has
seen a copy and would care to offer any comments on the quality? Also are
there any more sources for their photographs, particularly in books? I've
read that they wrote several which included their photographs, but I've not
had much luck tracking them down.
I know there are loads of their pictures on the walls of the Wasdale Head
Inn and I seem to remember that there are some at George Fishers in Keswick,
being the former studio of the brothers. Also found the website of Armitt
(http://fp.armitt.plus.com/index.htm), but have never visited, anyone know
if they have a permanent display of photo's here? Worth a visit?
What about Abbott Hall in Kendal, again found mention of them possesing some
photo's, but can't find any reference on the website? And some suggestion
that Keswick Museum have some of their pictures too. Anyone visited either
of these and can shed any light on their collections?
Or are there any other, permanent or otherwise, exhibitions or galleries of
their pictures anywhere in and around the Lakes or elsewhere? Anyone know
where all the glass negatives are? I seem to remember reading something
about the RPS having some, are they accessible to the general public?
Any clues or leads would be appreciated.
