Publication: Victor Albert Prout

12200988272?profile=originalA descendant of Victor Albert Prout was published a book about this photographer. Victor Albert Prout (1835-77) came from a family of artists and was himself an artist as well as an early photographer. He lived in Australia for a total of eighteen years, first as a child with his father, John Skinner Prout, and later returned there with his wife and children when he worked both as a photographer and a portrait painter. For 130 years nothing more was known about him but his work is now prized and collected in museums and galleries in many countries, including Australia, America, the United Kingdom and Germany. The story of his own and his family's life, and his own tragic death, has now been written.

The book is available from the publishers J & J Osmond, at Joan.Osmond@tesco.net
