| biography:
| Photographer, born in Herbenville, France. Employed as a wood-engraver, he was an amateur photographer who used a concealed camera to record working people in the streets of London and on holiday at the seaside (1888–98). His London by Gaslight (1896) was recognized by the Royal Photographic Society, and his records were much used in the 20th-c to represent the realities of late-Victorian everyday life. |
