Items on the archive pages have mostly (but not exclusively) already sold. Although it is not the main aim of this site to be educational, the programmes and other memorabilia I have sold in the past form an interesting record which some researchers may find useful. The items (mostly programmes, and generally from the early C20th or earlier) are presented in categories, thus forming a series of pictorial biographies which, although not necessarily complete, give an overview of the careers of Gilbert, Sullivan & D'Oyly Carte. Early items which are currently for sale will be found here on the site. |
