Stage Photo Company

Dear Will
I found my way to your website while unsuccessfully searching for copyright issues connected to the Stage Photo Company.

I’m researching a Bloomsbury Group artist who designed curtains for a play set photographed by the Stage Photo Company in 1931(The Venetian by Clifford Bax).

Why is it important?

At the turn of the 20th century, there was vast growth in press agencies and photographers due to the massive thirst for images in newspapers. Many are still in existence but others have been sold, absorbed or simply disappeared, effectively leaving gaps in the history of this industry… many agency offices were bombed during the WWII London Blitz resulting negative and print files being water damage from the hoses quenching the fires …most archives were in the building basements.
