NOTE

Jones's work as an artist is a fascinating reminder of the extent to which his interest as a photographer coincided with his earlier but lasting interests as an artist. For a series of photographs of Jones's white Pomeranian dog, including three with the photographer, see Sotheby's London 8th May 1992, lot 137.
