Portrait of a Lady by Harrison of Leeds 1860's
James Harrison, was the 'photographer and minature artist. His studio was number 172 Woodhouse Lane Leeds. According to Ancestry records he was living there in 1861 with his wife Mary and son James. He was born in Whitby c 1827
By 1871 he had moved to 2 Highfield terrace Leeds along with 4 children and a servant. So this photo must date from the 1860's
In 1881 he had moved back to Woodhouse Lane at no 28 and was still there in 1891
This is a large album with spaces for cabinet and cdv photos. I cannot remember where I got this album from but I have had it for while and I am now scanning the photos onto flickr.
The front blue cover has a metal plaque in the centre with what appears to be the initials MB - possibly the owner of the album.
I have yet to identify who MB might be but it is possibly Matilda Brittain b 1829 who married a Henry Hinchliff.
The album has a no of photos from a very wealthy family who in census records the men are listed as gentleman or directors of companies. There is also a strong link with South America with photos many of mexico and of individuals who were born in Buenos Aires though in census records are detailed as British subjects
