I used Samuel Oglesby as an example of an itinerant photographer in a blog I wrote, here on BPH, in March 2023. I am currently writing his life story for inclusion in the PCCGB’s book to commemorate their 50th Anniversary. I am fortunate to have assembled a collection of his cartes de visite from the 1860s onwards over the years.
I am now looking for assistance to try and ascertain whether any of his earlier output is known to exist, in any members’ or institutions’ collections. That would be daguerreotypes from his time in Australia (1849 – 1851) or daguerreotypes or prints produced as an itinerant photographer in England in the 1850s in East Anglia and the North East.
Any leads that you might be able to provided would be appreciated, and eagerly followed up. Thanks!
