## About Harry Diamond

Harry Diamond (1924–2009) was a British photographer born and active in London. Available public identity sources associate him with photographs of artists, jazz musicians, and the East End of London. These subjects connect his work with the people, neighborhoods, and cultural life of twentieth-century London, although the collected sources do not assign him a formal artistic movement or document named series. Collectors may encounter works attributed to Diamond as photographic portraits or London-centered scenes, but careful identity matching is important because his name is shared by other public figures and the available auction classifications are unusually broad. His lifespan, British nationality, profession, depicted subject, print information, and any documented provenance should therefore be checked together. The current source pack establishes a credible basic identity but provides limited institution-grade detail about his techniques, exhibitions, publications, or archival holdings.

## Common works and media

The available identity evidence points to photography, particularly images involving artists, jazz musicians, and London's East End. The source pack does not document named series, photographic processes, edition sizes, or whether individual impressions are vintage or later prints. Paintings, sculpture, mixed media, and decorative objects appearing under the current market classification should not automatically be treated as characteristic Harry Diamond works; their artist identity requires lot-level verification.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's current market page reports 17 priced records dated from 1997 to 2024, an observed range of $20 to $8,400, and a median result near $1,600. These figures should not yet be treated as a clean benchmark: that page also refers to 16 tracked lots, while the supplied artist input lists 194 records, and its broad categories include painting, sculpture, and decorative art despite identity sources describing Diamond as a photographer. Before appraisal, each comparable should be verified through its image, medium, title, date, dimensions, inscriptions, edition information, condition, provenance, and attribution. Only genuinely similar works should be compared. Public auction results are an initial reference and may omit private transactions or later attribution changes.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine artist-identity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Record matching, attribution, condition, and provenance should be independently checked before relying on the data for an appraisal.
