Chapman-Taylor, J.W.

Content & arrangement

Archives TypeRecordsPhotographsScope & contentPhotographs and photograph albums by J.W. Chapman-Taylor, and research material on Chapman-Taylor compiled by Andrew Donaldson.

Photos appear sepia, but this may be mainly due to age of paper, or possibly chemicals remaining from processing. Automatic image-enhancement produces results much closer to grey-scale.

About the original

Location5d-eAccession0001, 0002, 0172Custodial historyTwo prints, 1/5 (two copies) and 1/6, were loaned to Dowse Art Gallery in 1982 and returned to Upper Hutt on 11 May 1982. On 26/05/2004 these were found in a separate folder at 5e. They were then refoldered and placed back within this present collection. A letter from the Dowse Exhibition Officer informing their return has been filed with the collection.
