The Photo Detective by Nick Hatton |
Thursday 19th February 2026
|
|
| The Photo Detective – Uncovering additional context from 19th century photographs from Malton Photographic Studio In 1850, the first of many photographic artists came to Malton. Photography had only been commercially viable for about a decade, but over the next 50 years, it really took off. Everyone wanted their picture taken, and the number of photographers in town rapidly grew. So, who were these photographers? What happened to them? Who got rich, and who went broke? Who had a fight in church? The earliest studios were temporary and basic but eventually permanent studios appeared around town. So, where were these studios? Who commissioned a purpose-built studio? What can still be seen around town today? |
