As part of the RPS Historical Group's look at historical collections of photography, photographic archives, and those working historical and alternative processes this talk explores the Dillwyn Llewelyn/Story-Maskelyne archive with Susan Harris, and is hosted by Group Chair Gilly Read FRPS.
The British Library has as part of its collection the Dillwyn Llewelyn/Story-Maskelyne photographic archive, a collection of 19th-century photographic albums, negatives, and papers from the Dillwyn-Llewelyn/Story-Maskelyne families, relatives of William Henry Fox Talbot. In this talk, Susan M. Harris will take a closer look at Thereza Mary, the daughter of John Dillwyn Llewelyn, a keen amateur photographer who was also interested in botany and astronomy. Susan will be using Thereza's albums and journals to highlight the work of this remarkable woman and her photographic and scientific pursuits in the 19th century.
