Princess Sabra tied to the tree by Edward Burne Jones
Platinum print, c. 1880s
10/10; 206 x 175 mm, unmounted
$675.
Hollyer was the consummate British photographer of artists' work in the 19th century. His platinum prints were sensitively used, as in this case, to present fine renderings after period drawings. Though collectors often eschew photographs of art work such images were coveted in the 19th century and deserve greater consideration today. Jones's original graphite and black chalk drawing is in the British Museum. There are two Hollyer rubber stamps on the verso as well as a pencil inscription – 'St. George & the Dragon 37. EBJ'.
