Searching for: Photopress and Pictorial Press – Fleet St London

By July 13, 2013 July 31st, 2013 Will Carleton

This in from a UK institute looking to clear reproduction rights.

Hello
In our Archive of Sculptors’ Papers, we have photos of the sculptors Gertrude Hermes and Clare Sheridan, which we would like to reproduce in a forthcoming publication. Copyright for both was assigned to us at the time of purchase.
However, both have backstamps – see images below
I notice both are included in your Photo Agency Directory, and I wonder if you could let me know whether either agency (if they exist by any other name) has retained any copyright interests?

The PPHP has found Pictorial Press – we just need more info, any info! on Photopress.
