"Hello Graham,
It's good to hear from you. It does rather look like his daughter, Edith - the only pictures I have seen of her were taken a few years later, but there is a resemblance. Although evidently set up, it's a very…"

I would think this could well be his daughter who would have been two at the time - possibly a study for a larger print - lovely carte though

Peter Klein posted a discussionHenry Peach Robinson - a Recorder of Poverty?
I would be interested to hear members' reactions to the posted photograph, as I have not encountered one like it before. The original is a carte-de-visite, bearing an early Leamington imprint of H. P. Robinson, prior to October 1862, but one wonders whether this remarkable if rather disturbing and pathetic image could really have been taken in the back-alleys of Leamington, or whether Robinson might have gone farther afield to record such sights. Margaret Harker's book makes no mention of him…See More

Thanks again for your reply, it's always lovely to see new images by Bedford - his output was immense and I guess we'll never see the total. No problem with direct contact. My mail address is clive.landen@live.co.uk.

Many thanks for your full and informative mail regarding the Francis Bedford view, 'Ludlow Castle from Whitcliffe'. Yes you are right, the image measures 7" x 5.50" so your attribution would seem correct. I enclose two…"

Hi Peter, Thanks for accepting my invitation. I have been collecting Bedford for about 10 years, concentrating mostly on early works including his lithography in the early 1840's - 1860's and his photography between about 1853 -1868. I checked my inventory and came up with only 3 images related to Ludlow: Feathers Inn c. 1860, Ludlow Castle (Principal Front) c.1860, and a cdv: Ludlow Church and Mill Street, from Whitcliffe c.1865. I have another photograph I want to send you that I am trying to identify. It is an albumen print and corresponding waxed paper negative of a castle tower. Not sure where it is, but I wonder if it might be Ludlow castle. I'll send that separately. Thanks for looking....

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your full and informative mail regarding the Francis Bedford view, 'Ludlow Castle from Whitcliffe'. Yes you are right, the image measures 7" x 5.50" so your attribution would seem correct. I enclose two other views, both by Bedford 1). 'Feathers Inn - Ludlow', which is from his large scale series published by Day & Son and measures 11.375" x 9.50" on 18" x 14" board. This carries with it a back label (which I enclose also). 2). 'Ludlow Castle, Doorway to Norman Chapel' and is credited 'Bedford' both in letterpress on the front of the mount and interestingly a pencil inscription and signature under the image.
I am currently investigating whether this pencil signature in in fact by Bedford. This one measures 7.00" x 5.25" on 14.25" x 10.50" board. The gent posing beyond the entrance is I believe one of Bedford's sons, who as you most likely know, appeared in many of his views. I enclose both images images in a separate mail as the file sizes I think are too large.
kind regards,

Hello Peter,
I have recently joined British Photographic History and your name was mentioned to me by Paula Fleming. She tells me of your passion for compiling photographic images of Ludlow and I wondered if you could help me in attributing the enclosed image of Ludlow Castle. First of all, do you know this image and secondly, I believe it is by Francis Bedford, someone who my own collection is based upon, but am not sure. Can you help throw some light on this one?
regards,
Clive landen
