The first antiques and collectables fair of the year at Dublin's Newman House starts at 11 a.m. tomorrow. More than 40 dealers are expected to attend, among them Gluckman & Co of Dublin, which will be exhibiting a selection of early photographic equipment, such as a Nicnon camera of the kind used by law-enforcement agencies in the 1950s.

Other specialists include Elaine Cains Fine Art, with Victorian watercolours; Bagnall textiles, offering Victorian and Edwardian hand-worked linens; and S.H. Books, with a selection of 20th century illustrated books, not least of which is an edition of Faust illustrated by Harry Clarke and signed by the artist.
