So how do cased images come to be taken by the W E Kilburn studio at Erddig and a third possibly so when the large majority if not all of the subjects taken by Kilburn were of notable subjects and subjects with royal connections in the Kilburn studio settings in Regent Street? How could this London photographer with a double royal warrant be tempted to go up to a remote country house just outside Wrexham?

Kilburn's studio was at 234 Regent Street from 1845-1855. John Barrett born 1816 had at this time a studio at 222 Regent Street.Barrett was an early Beard licensee. I believe it is very likely that this was the Barrett referred to in my blog WE Kilburn-The Soldier and the Lady on the Parterre and to who Simon Yorke of Erddig paid £6-12-00 for daguerreotypes in 1852
In my blog it can be seen that the daguerreotypes were in the well known double royal warrant leather cases of Kilburn but they were paid for to Barrett
I would be interested in any information on the working relationship between Kilburn and John Barrett
