    A SUTER MISCELLANY

                                                       Peter B. Paisley

                                                     Sydney, Australia

                                  Recent finds enhance our knowledge of Richard Suter,
                                  the  prolific  Tottenham  mounter.    Fresh  data  partly
                                  concern  his  mounts:  but  more,  they  expand
                                  appreciation  of  the  man  and  his  interests,  in  the
                                  contexts of his extended family, historical environment,
                                  and local circumstances.  Evidence comes from several
                                  sources.    Much  information  is  from  Helen  Reed  (a
                                  descendent  of  Daisy  Suter,  Richard’s  sister)  and  her
                                  family heirlooms and memorabilia.  Some comes from
                                  recent sales in the USA and the UK, my own collection,
                                  and those of others.

                                  Suter and photography

                                  It  has  long  been  known  that  Suter  acquired  much  of
                                  Dancer’s material after the latter’s death, but little light
                                  has been cast on this aspect of Suter’s activities.  Many
                                  assume that Dancer’s negatives lay idle, implying that
                                  Suter  acquired  little  micro-photographic  skill.    New
                                  evidence however may suggest otherwise.
