| Further Notes | Frank Mason Good (active 1860s-1880s) joined the Photographic
Society of London in 1864 and served as a judge of its annual exhibition in 1880. One of
the few documents relating to Good from the intervening years is a letter extolling the
wet collodion process for "such subjects as wall sculptures which are only lighted
for a very short time, and where detail in the deepest shadows and figures [is]
required" (The Photographic Journal, 15 February 1873: 196). Good lived at Hartley Wintney, Winchfield, Hampshire, and photographed the landscape of the nearby Isle of Wight, a popular resort often photographed during the period. J. R. Ware's 'The Isle of Wight' (London, 1869) is illustrated with tipped-in photographs by Good and Russell Sedgefield. My thanks to Anthony Greenman (Ryde, IOW) for supplying the above photo and notes. |
