Kelham. Augustus,1819-1897.
[Chester? : Augustus Kelham,
1865?]
Augustus Kelham (1819-1897) originally from Nottinghamshire lived at Eversley Park, Chester. In the 1860s he published a book and a commercially produced album of photographic views of seats in Cheshire, Shropshire, Flintshire and Denbighshire, which contained 40 views of mansions and their interiors in North East Wales and the border area between Wales and England. This album of 64 albumen prints, with pencil captions, seems to date from the same period, mid-to late 1860s. It is similar to work by contemporaries such as Francis Bedford, or Francis Frith & Co., whose British landscapes photographs also dealt with traditional ‘picturesque’ subject matter and popular tourist locations, but also offers a contrast to the output of Scottish commercial studios such as James Valentine and George Washington Wilson. Nearly half of the prints are of views in Scotland, the rest are of Wales and England.
