A very nice carde de viste CDV full size cabinet photograph of a gentleman in a BOER WAR type officers uniform wearing a jacket and trousers with leather lace up boots which has extra calf leather spats. He is wearing a tropical pith helmet and holding his swagger stick.

This is one of the archive of antiques which belonged to a well known York historian, the late Mr Darrell Buttery MBE 1941 - 2022. He was a teacher, writer, and a very keen historian. Born in Guisborough to Olive and George Buttery. He was keen at all sorts of things during his early years being involved in the theatre and acting. He wrote The Streets of York, Four Centuries of Change ( 2018 ) book. He collected many items YORK related as well as paperwork and ephemera, the type of items which are usually burnt or thrown out long ago. Keeping his own family scrap albums. Some very good quality art pencil sketch books as well as watercolours too. Photograph albums and I am sure many photographs will never have been seen before so great for the York - Yorkshire collectors even now. Scrap albums with some fascinating contents. Just a few of the most unusual items to follow in a few weeks.
