Dotted
about on this page are views from the fine photographer Frank Mason Good.
Although best known for his 'Eastern Series' Good produced views in England,
mostly in London, on the Isle of Wight, and in southwest England. He began
his career as a photographic chemist, was in his heyday in the 1860s and
1870s (from when these views are dated), and died at a great age, largely
forgotten, in 1928. In recent years his reputation has enjoyed a well-deserved
revival. He lived for several years in Hampshire which is why there are
several of his views on this page.
