<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhiwfield, post: 87787, member: 924&quot;]A recent thread got a bit tetchy when varying opinions were expressed on whether or not it was right to sell historic graphic photos. SBSVC made an interesting post about how similar material had been used as part of an authoritative book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Made me wonder how many of you are quietly proud of the philanthropic or educational use of antiques and historic material that you have previously owned. My favourite is from&nbsp; a few years ago when we found a previously unknown print of the mass burial of the bodies from the Royal Charter shipwreck off Anglesey in 1859. It featured Reverend Stephen Roose Hughes and was by a local artist. Researching the print, realising its significance and ensuring that it ended up at the Island&#039;s museum (after being collected from our house by the curator) gave us more satisfaction than a fistful of profitable sales.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you don&#039;t mind sharing, let&#039;s hear a few of the interesting places that your antiques have ended up![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
