In 2022, Whitby Museum acquired the whole enhanced Frank Meadow Sutcliffe Collection and its associated merchandise and publishing rights from the ‘Sutcliffe Gallery’, previously owned by Mike and Trish Shaw.
Therefore, we now own the complete collection of digital scans of one of the most famous photographers in the world, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe.
Over many years Whitby Museum has created an extensive collection of photographs based on over 17,000 glass-plates and film negatives which date back to the 1860’s. The museum owns the complete collection of the original Sutcliffe glass plates alongside other prints, slides and glass lantern slides by many different photographers. More recently we have collected digital photographs of objects, engravings and paintings. Enquiries about the collection can be sent to [email protected].
A range of high quality unframed prints and a range of greetings cards and notebooks featuring Frank Meadow Sutcliffe photography are available for sale in the Whitby Museum shop which is open 10am-4:30pm Tuesday to Sunday (closed for a period over Winter).
