Now a run of 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 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.
