Their subject matter reproducing the relief sculpture by Harry Bates of 'The Story of Psyche'. This exists as a silvered bronze triptych, now in the Collection of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. M.H.Spielmann's 'British sculpture and sculptors of today' (1901) includes a full -page advertisement for 'Permanent photographs of the works of Harry Bates, ARA ... by Frederick Hollyer', including illustrations of the three panels of 'The Story of Psyche'.In the late 19th Century, Frederick Hollyer had established himself as a specialist in the photographic reproduction of contemporary art. Catalogues of his 'platinotype reproductions' were issued regularly between 1893 and 1911. Indeed Hollyer exhibited a set of platinum prints depicting Harry Bate's The Story of Psyche in the 39th annual exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society where it could be purchased for £6 6sh. In his review of that exhibition Alfred Horsley Hinton noted 'A finer or more complete idea of relief has probably never been produced than the reproduction of Harry Bates 'Story of Psyche', which is shown by F. Hollyer. The relief of the original clay modelling is so perfect given that it seems difficult to see why, from an aeshetic point of view, such productions should not be largely used for high class decoration...' (The Photograph, November 1894)
