Re: Alt collections in Europe
The print room at the V&A is certainly worth a visit, but the collection
at the National Media Museum in Bradford now includes the RPS collection
although I've not visited it since it moved there and don't know how
accessible it is. But it is one of the best collections of the first 80
or so years of the medium anywhere.

I remember going to visit this in Bath with Terry King and looking at
many alt process prints from the nineteenth and twentieth century - and
in some cases we were also able to view the negatives. Incidently I went
to Terry's 70th birthday party on Saturday and there were several alt
photo people there, including Randall Webb whose book some will know.
Terry's studio - London - might also be worth a visit:

When in London, be sure to visit the "Print Room" at the Victoria and
Albert Museum. You can view Cyanotypes, Albumen, Platinum prints and
others processes by several masters. I was recently there and spent a
few hours looking at prints including Anna Atkins cyanotypes.
Beautiful!! Also, I saw the "Pencil Of Nature " book.
I was surprised that they did not have many gum bichromate prints in
their collection.

I would love it if you would keep this conversation on list
because I would
like to visit museums, etc., that have great alt collections as
well? I can
remember one comment from a former list member that the Folkwang
museum in
Essen, Germany was a most memorable alt experience of his life.

Subject: Alt collections in Europe
Dear List,
it may be possible that two of us teachers from our university
will get a
chance to make a trip to some European cities in the near future
with a view
to familiarize ourselves with European alt-photo works. We're
particularly
interested in UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy...
So I'd like to ask your advice: Can you recommend access (and
possibly
guidance) to public or private collections of original alt prints,
historical or contemporary. What would be the best museums,
educational
institutes, academies, galleries, etc. in your country, relative
to alt?
If you prefer you can reply off-list.
Thanks in advance,
- Jalo
