Another delve into the Victorian album from Mum's bookshelf, and this time I wonder who this handsome chap could be.
He was surely a relative of mine since the picture was taken in Norwich but which of the great greats he might be is anyone's guess.
No date and no clue as to the sitter, but it was probably taken around about 1892, or maybe a little earlier as the
Norfolk CC website suggests 1888, since the purple stamp on the beautifully presented cabinet photo indicates that the photo was taken in Gavin and Banger's St Giles' Studio (they had
three studios in Norwich , according to
earlyphotographers.org).
The old White Lion Street can be seen, as my great great might have seen it as he walked around the centre of Norwich,
on this picture from the Norfolk CC website
Any further information about sitter or photographer gratefully received.
