Augustus Kelham
Augustus Kelham is known for a series of architectural views of English county seats. Extremely rare today, these 35 albumen prints were taken in the mid-1860s and published in Photographic Views of Seats in Cheshire, Shropshire, Flintshire, and Denbighshire (c. 1870). Kelham also produced albums of cathedrals, churches, ruined abbeys, and other ecclesiastical architecture, as well as seaside views and genre scenes. T.W.F.
