[QUOTE="Jack Charity, post: 3259250, member: 17734"]What do you mean by "original photo"? Kathleen Firmin (known to her friends as "Kathy") was a great friend of mine, and my family, in the '70s and early '80s. She ran a very successful Fine Arts Gallery on Mama Ngina Street (which later moved a block away) dealing in photographic prints (both monochrome and hand-tinted), limited edition prints, and original paintings. The mainstay of the gallery's business was superbly printed and hand-tinted prints of her late-husband's extensive catalogue of full plate and half plate negatives. Therefore, while the negatives and plates were "original", the prints were not. "World's End" was one of Firmin's Gallery most popular prints, and although for sales purposes it was credited to Arthur, Kathy told me that when they were on shoots together (which could last for several days), they did not keep a record of who shot what, and she firmly believed that "World's End" was one of her's![/QUOTE]
