While a commissioning editor at Fitzroy Dearborn Publishers (1999-2001) I conceived and commissioned the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, with Pam Roberts as editor. FDP was bought by Taylor & Francis, I went off to do other things, John Hannavy succeeded Pam as editor, and I'm happy to say Routledge eventually published the work in 2007 (though I've yet to actually see a copy!).

I agree that chances are the unknown photographer may by well have been "channeling" the poem when the photo was taken. The big mystery remaining is the identity of the maker. The print has the distinct "cool" quality of a developing out salt print rather than the warmth of a straight p.o.p. salt print. Perhaps it was taken and/or printed by Thomas Sutton?
BTW... It occurred to me that the 19th century photographer would have to have taken the image on terra firma, so I have written to the gent who took the contemporary photograph to ask him for any info that might help confirm that the two photos are of the same location. Stay tuned!Hi Jonathan, Thanks so much for your reply. For the benefit of other readers following this blog I am adding a link to "The Prelude."
