## About Alfred Gregory

Alfred Gregory (1913–2010), identified by library authorities as Alfred John Gregory, was a British professional photographer, mountaineer, and explorer. He is best known in the collected sources for his participation in the 1953 British Mount Everest Expedition, where he was responsible for still photography while also serving as a climbing member of the team. That combination places his photographic identity within the history of exploration and mountaineering rather than within a named fine-art movement. Collectors may encounter his name on photographs or related material associated with Everest, expeditions, and high-altitude climbing. Authority records from Wikidata and VIAF provide a stable basis for distinguishing this photographer from unrelated people with similar names. The available source pack establishes Gregory's identity and expedition context, but it does not describe a complete catalogue of his photographs, processes, editions, exhibitions, or institutional holdings. Individual objects therefore require careful attribution and object-level research.

## Common works and media

The source pack supports photography as Gregory's principal relevant medium and particularly associates him with mountaineering, exploration, and the 1953 British Mount Everest Expedition. Photographs or photographic prints bearing his name may therefore depict expedition activity, climbers, or Himalayan settings. The available evidence does not establish standard print formats, processes, editions, titles, signing practices, or a complete body of work, so these details should be verified directly from the object and its documentation.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal should first establish that a work is attributable to the British photographer Alfred John Gregory, since name-only matching can combine unrelated creators. For photographs associated with him, documented links to the 1953 British Mount Everest Expedition may provide important historical context. The collected sources do not supply public lot descriptions, photographic processes, print dates, edition information, condition reports, provenance, or realized-price comparables. Those object-level facts should be established before selecting comparable sales or drawing a valuation conclusion. Appraisily's directory count also requires reconciliation against Gregory's authority identifiers, so it should not be treated by itself as proof that every indexed record belongs to this photographer.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine authority-based artist identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available and can be matched reliably to the artist.
