James Gray collection of photographs
We are now authorised by the Regency Society to supply copies of the James Gray collection of photographs. Gray was an avid collector of photographs of Brighton and Hove. Over the course of 40 years he compiled 39 volumes of local images. Accompanied by his notes and observations, these photographs are a unique record of the changing city. The Regency Society purchased the collection on his death, and has recently digitised the entirety of this collection. The images can be viewed at the James Gray collection website. Copies can be ordered from our image reproduction service.
