V&A Museum Collection of Lafayette Photographs ** When Russell Harris contacted me in 2004, he told me about a list of the Lafayette images, held by Victoria & Albert Museum, that he had compiled and made this list available on the internet. Russel Harris' list is no longer on the Internet. However, V&A has now set up a Lafayette Studio page on their web site. It includes a search facility for Lafayette images in their collection and a brief note about how a large collection of Lafayette negatives was rescued, then acquired by V&A. Typing Lafayette into the search field on this V&A web page is another way of bringing up more Lafayette images. Here is the first of 3 pages of Lafayette images that this search provides.
