Preparing for one auction and imaging for another

A split day today, partly setting up tomorrow’s auction down at Fakenham Racecourse and partly imaging for the December auction back at the shop. A full catalogue for tomorrow’s auction can be viewed at http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/james-and-son-auctioneers/catalogue-id-2901720, and if you cannot get to Fakenham tomorrow you can also register to bid online at www.the-saleroom.com.

My main imaging task today was producing pictures for the back cover of the next catalogue, some of the highlights being included below. I also imaged some postal history lots after this with what was left of the day.

Now for some pictures…

This is lot 1 in the December sale.

Thank you to all of you who have liked previous posts on this blog, and a bigger thank you to those of you have been kind enough to hit the follow button.

The catalogue for the June sale of James and Sons is now out, and can be viewed online by following the link provided.

I spent much of yesterday doing stuff on the Database, so I have not got many work images to show, but I have plenty of others, one of which (of Fakenham war memorial) I will be uploading on www.facebook.com/GreatAuction and of course mentioning on www.twitter.com/great_auction. As well as my usual type of photo, I have a collection of banknotes which will be lot 37 in the upcoming auction, and some books which have not yet been assigned to a particular auction but which I imaged at the same time as doing the describing.

Enjoy the images…

Imaging for June Auction

James and Sons May auction is tomorrow at the Maids Head Hotel in Norwich, starting from 10AM. Today I have been working on the June auction, which is on the 21st, also at the Maids Head. As well as plenty of imaging I also created a poster advertising some old and precious banknotes which will be kicking off the sale.
