*ex Baldwin's vault
John Cimon Warburg was a pioneer in colour photography and many of his Autochromes are to be found in the collections of the Royal Photographic Society. A wealthy man, Warburg suffered from chronic asthma both of which allowed him to devote his time and money entirely to the study and practice of photography. He was the elder brother of the perhaps better-known Agnes Beatrice Warburg (1872–1953) and encouraged her with her art.
