Photographs of the Crystal Palace

Post by simoneveritt »

Thought I'd post these for people to see, a selection of images from the archives of Everitt Photogrqphy, a Sydenham based family firm that started life in the 1850s. There are hundreds more like it, and we are trying to get a dedicated website up and running to make some of them available to the wider world. I'll add a couple more over the coming days, the site won't let me post anymore.

Fantastic news!

You'll note that the hand-written numbers correspond to the same numbers on some of the late yellow mounted stereoviews.

Good luck with the website.

Wonder why they don't just flog 'em to English Heritage or the V&A ?

Hello everyone,
I am trying to reach the lucky private collector/library/museum who may have in its collection the following stereoview.
It is fascinating and I wish I could add a hi-res digitization of this view to a picture selection of stereoviews about Crystal Palace…
Any contact or clue would be much appreciated!
You can answer here or by private message...

All the best!

publisher: Negretti & Zambra (London)
title: "Telescope Gallery" or «Bull’s Eye Gallery » North end of nave, Crystal Palace, Sydenham
a print can be seen at the Musée d’Orsay Collections (half of a stereoview)

It is not the stereoview published by The London Stereoscopic Company (same gallery, but without chair)!
