Selling rare photographs to Getty Images

bing0

Hello,I have in my possession several unseen and therefore unpublished photographs of Amy Johnson (famous female pilot).I have no idea as to what they are worth,but searching Gettyimages,you can pay a substantial amount,just to use an image.Depending on what type of licence you require,I have seen quotes for nearly £8000,00 just to use an image !!!

Can anyone guide me as to what the possible sale value is of such an item ? Obviously to protect the images,I can not post them on here.All I can say is that there are three of her in a plane (one of these with children).One of her posing for the camera,and one possibly of her and husband on their wedding day (I cant say 100% its them,due to hats covering faces slightly),but I'm sure it is.The four photos I can confirm of her are in Aden in 1930,RAF pilots are in some of the photos too,I believe these are members of 8 Squadron,this links to her homeward journey ,after her record breaking flight.

I have posted these questions on here,as it may give fellow users ideas of generating cash from rare photos they might have.I hope someone can give me some positive advice,as if they are sought after images,which I believe they are,you only get one chance to sell them for the right price.

If they turn out to be worth not alot,I was thinking about doing limited edition prints....what do you think ?

Thanks :rolleyes:

I'd try asking on one of the photography forums -you're likely to get a better range of people with knowledge in the subject.
