Including views of 102 Leadenhall Street , 1878; The Sir Paul Pindar, Bishopsgate Street , 1878; Temple Bar , 1878; St Bartholomew the Great , 1877; St Bartholomew the Great and Cloth Fair , 1877; Cloth Fair , 1877; The Oxford Arms, Warwick Lane , 1875 (2); Lincon’s Inn: Old Square , 1867; Old Houses in Drury Lane , 1867 (2); Lincoln’s Inn Gateway , 1867; Old Houses in Wych Street , 1867 (2).

Founded in 1875, The Society for Photographing Relics of Old London was initially formed to record and preserve the Oxford Arms, a 17th-century coaching inn near St Paul’s Cathedral which had been marked for demolition. The group commissioned Alfred and John Bool to document the inn, and their glass plates were in turn printed by Henry Dixon & Sons. The group then sold the prints by subscription, which proved so popular that they went on to commission 120 photographs over the next 12 years. The present lot contains two views of the Oxford Arms, prior to its ultimate demolition in 1876.

The Royal Photographic Society, 1931

PICTURES FROM THE TYNG COLLECTION, 1931. Large-format portfolio in its original cardboard slipcase, overall measuring 520 x 370mm, with six tipped-in photogravures, the originals of which are held in the Tyng Collection, Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain. Each photogravure mounted recto to individual card leaves, each with web-patterened tissue guard, images measuring approx. 260 x 200mm (or the reverse), with a loose leaf contents list bearing the facsimile signature of J Dudley Johnston, the Society’s former President and Honorary Curator, 1924-1955. Stiff card covers,with original tissue wrapping (yellowed, tears with some loss), bound with hook/loop fastenings, gilt title, with a smaller version of Plate 4 (measuring 115 x 155mm) tipped into the cover.

Published in 1931, this was the first portfolio produced by the Royal Photographic Society's Pictorial Group, "in order that members may have the opportunity of acquiring a worthy record of some at least of the photographic masterpieces that make up the permanent collection." In 1927, friend of the Society, the late Stephen H Tyng (of New York), bequeathed a sum of money known as the Stephen H Tyng Foundation, "the annual interest on which was to be expended on the purchase of pictorial photographs of outstanding merit for the Society's Permanent Collection." The Pictorial Group of the RPS was then placed in charge of the fund's administration; each of the original photographs in the present portfolio were acquired as part of the Society's new Tyng Collection. Since 2017, the RPS Collection, including the Tyng Collection holdings, has been housed by the Victoria & Albert Museum.

The first plate of the portfolio is Rudolf Koppitz's celebrated signature image: Bewegungs Studie (Study of Movement), a dramatic and stylised portrait of dancers from the Vienna State Opera Ballet, originally made in 1925. The photogravures included in this portfolio are as follows:

No.1. BEWEGUNGS STUDIE (Study of Movement) by Prof. Rudolf Koppitz of Vienna.

Herbert George Ponting (1870-1935)

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA, 1907. Carbon print, image/sheet size 395 x 555mm.

Herbert George Ponting is best known for documenting Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition, where he acted as the expedition's photographer and cinematographer, creating some of the most famous and memorable images of Scott's ill-fated journey to the South Pole. Prior to taking on this landmark assignment, Ponting established his reputation as a successful documentary photographer in Asia, publishing landscape stereoviews and images in Englishlanguage periodicals. From 1904-1907, he travelled throughout Japan, Myanmar, Korea, China and India. The present view was taken by Ponting in 1907, towards the end of his travels in Asia -- a sweeping view of the Great Wall from Nankou Pass, north of Beijing.

Walker Evans (1903-1975)

TWO BOBBINS, IVORY COAST, 1935. Vintage silver gelatin contact print, sheet size 205 x 255mm, annotated ‘Walker Evans’ and numbered ‘R-509’ and ‘135-41’ in pencil verso.

The present contact print, uncropped and with an uncharacteristic shadow in its lower left corner, is likely a working print used during Walker Evans’ commission to document the works included in the Museum of Modern Art’s 1935 landmark exhibition African Negro Art . In 2000, The Metropolitan Museum of Art organised Perfect Documents: Walker Evans and African Art, 1935 , an exhibition that explored this multifaceted commission, which saw Evans photograph over 600 sculptures during the course of the six-week exhibition. In the catalogue that accompanied the Met’s exhibition, curator Virginia-Lee Webb writes, “If unwanted elements found their way into the negative or print, he simply cut them away. Evans’ repuation as a ruthless editor of his own work is strikingly demonstrated in the African art series, as is his highly personal and stylized approach.” (p.44)

A print of the finished study, without shadow, is held by the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, ref. 84.XM.488.25.
