PHOTOGRAPHIC GRADING & PROVENANCE NOTE (PSA TYPE II)

These archive prints are true, first-generation darkroom/lab photographs developed chemically in the laboratory directly from the original Press Association master negatives (struck prior to the mid-1990s Fleet Street relocation)—they are NOT modern digital home inkjet reproductions or copy prints.

Classified under the US photographic grading system as official Type II Press Photographs—genuine agency prints offering outstanding contrast, direct historic lineage, and Fleet Street provenance.

Provenance & "COA" Statement

Prints will be accompanied by a copy of the signed provenance statement from the archive's custodians, which serves as a Certificate of Authenticity. It reads:

"These photographs were collected and kept by myself and my brother, Sean Dempsey, during our careers at the Press Association, in Fleet St London. The Collections include Original Music, sub culture, and British Social history Archive Prints, spanning the 1960s-1980s - (Some with the original PA stamps) along with historical and later files from the agency" — Mike Dempsey
