Black British Photographers Pre-1870

Hi everyone,

During a seminar last week one of my first year students asked whether any of the figures we were discussing as notable early photographers were black. Reviewing them, I note that none was, and that the only name I could recollect from that period was Augustus Washington who emigrated from New Jersey to Liberia / Sierra Leone.

I wonder if anyone has any research material in this area that you can direct me to, particularly about any black British photographers from this period?

Thanks,
