Abstract
Early British photography was largely limited to those members of society who had sufficient means and education to take up this expensive and time-consuming pursuit. However, despite the emphasis in modern histories on the work of male practitioners, it is clear that photography in the mid-nineteenth century was not only the province of gentlemen amateurs.2 Until technical developments made the process more accessible, class not gender was the determining factor in enabling photographic practice in England. A small group of aristocratic women were to make notable, if largely unacknowledged, contributions to the medium in the 1850s.3
