Back in May I posted pictures of some photographs I had bought at an antiques fair: they were agency photographs of authors. On that occasion I had picked out three or four from a folder, and as soon as I left the fair I was already thinking I wished I'd bought more, or even all of them. I have finally tracked down the dealer and bought all the photos they had left. This is just a small selection from the forty or so photographs, all taken, I believe, by a London photographer by the name of Clayton Evans. They are a wonderful selection of glamorous women and craggy men. From top to bottom here we have Margaret Lane (also the Countess of Huntingdon, Eric Williams, Pamela Frankau, Sir Arthur Bryant and Neil Gunn. All of them, I feel, really good photographs.
