And if you look at the floor in his photo in the book it matches that of those in the pictures in the link…but I imagine if they had it, they absolutely would have included a picture of shaw in the collection
I looked on LOC for any books about Shaw authored by women in the last 20 years & this is all I could find. It does apparently have a set of pictures ..but of course the person may never have published. (I weirdly enjoy doing this stuff)
This has sent me down a fantastic rabbit hole. Many apologies if I am just restating the obvious, but the collector Henry Deeks appears to have been a very meticulous man. I have to imagine he kept a complete record of his photo sales...I wonder if the family estate kept an archive of his records?
I know the woman who owns this image; it's in perfect shape, and signed and dated by Shaw. She did, indeed, acquire it from Henry, who was a dear man. She's somewhat shy and reclusive, but I'll reach out to her and see if she'd be willing to share it with you.
