Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
As noted here (http://britishphotohistory.ning.com/profiles/blogs/antiques-roadsho...) the BBC's Antiques Roadshow programme featured an item of photographic interest in this evenings programme. A descendent of J B B Wellington brought along a selection of photographs and exhibition medals that belonged to Wellington. Described as 'museum quality' by expert Marc Allum the archive was valued at £10,000-15,000. The programme can be seen here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00z1h04 (the segment starts at 11m 24s in) for the next seven days.
As many BPH readers will know Wellington was Kodak's factory manager at Harrow for a short period in the 1890s before establishing his own paper and plate manufacturing firm Wellington and Ward at Elstree. The firm was eventually absorbed into Ilford Ltd. Wellington was also an accomplished amateur photographer and had his house, The Leys, in Elstree designed by George Walton, who also worked for Kodak and W & W.
