There are 28 indexed files of Grego’s submissions in the British Library. Although Grego was involved with photographic techniques throughout his life, with the exception of 87 19th century glass-negatives of Pickwickiana* in his estate, withheld from the 1897 VEE, there are no other surviving Grego-photographic records. Albeit there are receipts for ‘Photogravure plates produced by Joseph Grego for use by ‘Chapman and Hall’- Dickens's publishers, and a rare life-photograph* of Hablot Knight Browne ('Phiz'). Jules Bastien-Lepage drew a small head of Grego in pen and ink on a visit to London, circa 1880-81.
