Foreword John Hannavy started collecting Victorian photography in the early 1970 when starting out on an academic career which became increasingly involved in the teaching of photographic history in colleges in the north-west of English, finishing up as Professor in Photography and Photographic History at the University of Bolton. What started out as gathering together a few items to show to students during his lectures, grew into an absorbing passion, searching antique fairs, fleamarkets and auction catalogues to put together what became one of the largest collection of thermoplastic cases and cased images in Britain. They have featured as illustrations in many of John’s books on Victorian and Edwardian Britain over the years. Many of the items offered for sale here were illustrated in John’s well-received 2005 book Case Histories – the presentation of the Victorian photographic portait, published by the prestigious Antique Collectors’ Club. There are relatively few of these quintessentially Victorian objects offered for sale these days, and even fewer in pristine condition – early thermoplastic is a notoriously brittle material. Collecting and research continued after he retired from academic life in 2005 to take on the editorship the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography for Routledge, but as the 'thrill of the hunt’ was a large part of what kept John spending weekends searching for new ‘finds', the scarcer they got, the less the personal satisfaction, and the decision to start researching something different!
