IN PROGRESS — NOT FOR PUBLICATION

---

The first image in the album is a portrait of Geoffrey Bevington himself - the original of the portrait that features on the Craig Telescope website. Comparing this with other images in the album, it seems likely that GB is pictured in the grounds of Ivy House, Wandsworth Common.

Geoffrey Bevington's Memorial Album

There are more than seven hundred images, on more than 100 pages. This is a very small selection.

V&A

[ADD INFO. A substantial collection of 700+ of his images was assembled after Geoffrey Bevington's death . . . The album was donated to the V&A in 2016 by ?. Conserved in 2017. Acquisition no. etc. Copyright.

Are there other albums (handed down within the family?) - the same or different contents?

There appears to be no sequence or grouping of images. A typical spread might include - seemingly at random - a plant still life, a garden scene, portraits of family and friends (shot in a studio or open air), a tourist-style snap (e.g. of Clovelly or Hever Castle).

I have included a handful of spreads below.

Geoffrey, Samuel [brother], Geoffrey, James [father] and Samuel's son, Mary [mother], etc
