Re: spots and dots and other gum stuff
Probably this is John Cimon Warburg, who was English and father of the publisher Fredric John Warburg (Secker & Warburg). He suffered from asthma which stopped him from working and had the money to finance his photography. Four pages of his pictures at http://216.47.168.150/results.asp?txtkeys1=John+Cimon+Warburg which are in the RPS collection. At least one - Peggy in the Garden - is widely available as a poster. The pictures, mainly autochromes, include a portrait of him reading a magazine taken by Helen Messenger Murdoch. I rather like his Cow on Saltburn sands. Several on page 3 and 4 are labelled as gums, and some of those described just as photographs look as if they could be. Includes some very typical work of the period.
