An extraordinary collection of photographs is at risk of being exported from the UK unless a buyer can be found to match the asking price of £3,700,000. Arranged in a single sequence from front to back, it includes some of Julia Margaret Cameron’s finest and best-known portraits, including her niece Julia Jackson (the mother of Virginia Woolf), scientist and polymath John Herschel, Alfred Tennyson and Charles Darwin.
A temporary export bar has also been placed on Ehrenbreitstein, by JMW Turner, to provide an opportunity to keep it in the country. The painting is at risk of being exported from the UK unless a buyer can be found to match the asking price of £18,533,750 (plus VAT of £306,750).
