- Búsqueda de fotografías de España
Se pueden ver, por ejemplo, fotos de fotógrafos tan conocidos y renombrados como Frith. Este estudio fotográfico encargó, pues muchas fotos de su firma no estan hechas de su propia mano, a sus fotògrafos que recorrieran España, entre otros lugares del mundo.
....... it is now known that nearly all of the works bearing the F. Frith and Co. stamp were not taken by Frith himself, but by one of his travelling employees. Photographers associated with Frith's 'Universal Series' include Robert Napper (Andalusia), Frank Mason Good (Egypt) and Frederick William Sutton and Hugo Lewis Pearson (Japan). In addition to hiring his own photographers, Frith also bought the negative stocks of established photographers such as Roger Fenton and Francis Bedford.......
En esta web se encuentran decenas de fotos, albuminas, de muchos lugares de España, cada una con una pequeña explicación, tenemos, entre otras representadas Burgos, Valencia, Sevilla, Madrid y otros pueblos menos conocidos de España.
En el 2007 se realizaron exposiciones por España con parte de esos fondos:
Robert P. Napper viajó por España en 1863 y, durante dos años y medio, trabajó en la península Ibérica para Francis Frith, cuya vinculación se rompió entre 1863 y 1864. Su formación autodidacta en el género de la figura humana podría haber sido un factor decisivo en los conflictos que surgieron entre ambos. El fotógrafo del sur de Gales dedicó una atención especial a Andalucía, sobre la que editó el álbum Views in Andalusia.
