About the Item
Visitor At No. 10 Downing Street
Arthur recalls:
“I had been on a late shift for the Newspaper and clocked off at around 1a.m. in the morning. As I drove home, I took the route down Whitehall. To my astonishment, as I drove past Downing Street there were three policeman rolling a enormous snowball. Needless to say, I quickly pulled my car over and grabbed my camera. I trudged through the snow and managed to get a shot of the three officers rolling the giant ball.
But once it dawned on the officers that I was a press photographer and I had caught them in the act whilst on duty, the atmosphere turned a little frosty. And so, I made a deal with them; I promised that I wouldn’t publish the picture of them forming the snowman if they simply posed next to the finished frozen figure. ‘Visitor at No.10’ was published the following day and it’s only now – over 50 years later that I’m able to reveal the picture of them rolling it – at the end of the day they were simply trying to keep themselves warm and pass some time.”

Arthur Steel
Photographer Arthur Steel's archive of iconic images is nothing short of fabulous, and counts David Walliams as a collector. His most famous photograph is arguably of Diana and Charles's kiss on the balcony on their wedding day. He was one of just a handful of photographers who were on the "royal rota" that day.
Regarded as a highly respected editor and Fleet Street photographer, Arthur photographed a vast array of celebrities over the years. In his images one can see how at ease his subjects felt in his company, such as Eric Morecambe within his study, Elton John at home with his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, George Best surrounded by bubble bath or even the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher in her bedroom applying makeup.
Today, Steel oversees and authenticates the production of his extremely rare photographic limited edition prints from negatives only recently unearthed from his personal treasured archive.
Arthur's collector base continues to grow internationally. Notably, his work is found at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in Mayfair, London, as well as Gordon Ramsay restaurants in Kuala Lumpur and Macao.

Untitled #11 (Guard St. James's Palace), 2013 - Limited Edition Silver Gelatin
By Giacomo Brunelli
Located in Brighton, GB
Untitled #11 (Guard St. James's Palace) from the series Eternal London is a Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print by Giacomo Brunelli.
This size of 9" x 12" from a Limited Edition of 10.
As the edition sells through, the print increases in price to reflect rarity.
Giacomo Brunelli was commissioned by The Photographer's Gallery, London, to capture the heart of the capital city where he lives.
Made over the course of 2 years, Eternal London takes Brunelli's distinctive film noir aesthetic to create an evocative and atmospheric view of London, full of powerful light and shadow work.
Framed by boldly abstract silhouettes of people and animals, London's famous landmarks are presented in a less-than-obvious way, reflected in the puddles that typify English weather or looming as a mysterious structure in the background.
Captured during daily morning walks, Brunelli randomly chose a person to follow before focussing his camera on them.
Working discreetly, like early 20th century photographers such as Jacob Riis...
