About Me

Ron Sheeley: My interests are in Victorian period photographs of actress/courtesans, African explorers, British military (Zulu War), and French "grand horizontals" of La Belle Epoque. I am always interested in acquiring new images in my interest areas through purchase or trade and will occasionally sell duplicate images. I would like to thank Laure Deratte of Paris for her kind assistance and expertise in helping me establish this blog. To contact: rshee434@aol.com
