Roland Belgrave specialises in vintage photographs, primarily those produced
between the 1840s and the early 1900s. His passion is early travel and
exploration, although he is also interested in all exotic and eclectic early vintage
photography that might now be considered out of the ordinary.
He has been dealing for more than 25 years and over the past four years has
increasingly handled contemporary photography with an emphasis on climate
change and the environment. The focus of his exhibtion at LAPADA 2024
is a solo show by BAUD POSTMA.
Roland Belgrave has always exhibited at major book and photographic fairs
globally, for the first 10 years with Bernard Shapero Rare Books and, since
then, alone.
He has sold to many major institutional collections globally and has also
helped form a number of private collections both in the United Kingdom and
internationally. He has also appraised a number of large national collections
of 19th century photography.
