| Object history | Calvert Richard Jones was one of the first to learn of W.H. F. Talbot's discoveries of the 1830s through Talbot's friends and relatives who lived near to Jones in South Wales. Subsequently, Jones became one of the few Britons to produce a substantial body of calotypes in Britain and abroad. His work stands out in the early development of photography because of his ability to fuse his technical skill with the influence of his training as a watercolorist. This photograph is a close up of the harbour wall and town depicted in the panorama created from the joined photographs PH.99-1983 and PH.113-1983. |
