Photos in Collections Photographs by Tunny, including a book of Edinburgh scenes from the 1850s, can be found in the Edinburgh Room at Edinburgh Central Library. The The National Galleries of Scotland have over 30 photographs by Tunny in their collection at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Most are portraits. They Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, has an album of photographs by Tunny, including many portraits of artists. The National Portrait Gallery, London tells me: - They a=have a carte-de-visite of Hugh Miller (1802-1856), the geologist and man of letters, which is inscribed on the mount with: ‘Published by / ANDREW ELLIOT, 15 PRINCES STREET, EDINBURGH’ - The image is an enlarged and more closely cropped version of an image that they already have in the National Portrait Gallery’s collection, where the mount indicates the picture is by J. G. Tunny. |

Thank you to Marcel Safier who wrote: "I've found a couple of interesting items on the Australian eBay listing - Andrew Brewster over-painting Tunney photos. *** The provenance reads:' 'Taken by James G Tunny, 93 Princess Street, Edinburgh, Friday 25th September, 1868. Coloured in oil by Andrew Brewster (a nephew of the late Sir David Brewster), 6 Dewar Place Edinburgh'." Marcel Safier, Holland Park, Queensland, Australia: October 20, 2010 *** There were two photos in this lot (No 230436955641), both framed. No size given. This lot was offered for sale with a starting bid of Aus $200. I don't know if the lot sold or what price it fetched. |
