A Low Six-Figures Deal for Historic U.K. Photo

Back in 1984, the Getty Museum acquired “Pasha and Bayadère” (pictured), a rare photo taken by Victorian era war photographer Roger Fenton. Even though the picture is thought to have been staged at the artist’s north London studio rather than taken during one of his globe-trotting expeditions, it is still considered to be a critical artifact of early UK photography.
