Downey 1893 (ca) The Misses Dene Woodburytype 5.5 x 3.6 in (140 mm x 93 mm) Paul Frecker Paul Frecker provides the following comments: "A Woodburytype from around 1893 showing the Misses Dene. Dorothy Dene (1859-1899), posed here on the left, was a beautiful but indifferent actress who became a favourite model of Lord Leighton, posing for some of his most famous paintings, notably Flaming June, The Bath of Psyche, and The Garden of the Hesperides. She also posed for G.F. Watts. Her sisters, Edith (born 1865), seen here at the top, and Lena (properly Isabel Helena, born 1873), seen here at the bottom, also posed for Lord Leighton, as did another sister, Hetty (properly Henrietta Sarah, born 1867), who does not appear in this portrait. The fourth girl seen here, on the right, is Kathleen Blanche (born 1871)."

XIV] Heliogravure / Photogravure 9.9 x 9.1 cm Photoseed Photograph courtesy PhotoSeed.com Country: Scotland: Glasgow This photograph, taken in Italy in 1894 and also known as The White Friars, is an early example of stop-movement photography made by Annan with a hand-held camera. This plate is a slight variant crop on one made by Annan and reproduced as Plate #2 in the book by Weston Naef (1978) The Collection of Alfred Stieglitz: Fifty Pioneers of Modern Photography (The Metropolitan Museum of Art / The Viking Press) That version shows the entire shadow cast on ground in lower right and more detail in the print. Annan, a contemporary of Stieglitz and important influence on him, was not only a gifted photographer but also a publisher who made his own copper plates for printing photogravures for himself and the family firm: T & R Annan & Sons. Today, the Annan family is still in business- operating The Annan Gallery (a fine art dealer gallery) at 164 Woodlands Road in Glasgow.
