This week introduces one of the least visible of all early British women photographers but possibly one of the most significant. Mrs Atkinson was an itinerant photographer travelling with her 'Photographic Van' in her 1860 Richmond and Ripon Chronicle advertisement. 1/2
Kingston upon Hull was the location for a third early woman photographer, Mrs Hannah Hardey. Her primary occupation had been as portrait painter in oils, but in 1857 she branched out into photographic portraiture located at her husband’s studio on Jarratt Street. 1/2
