W. Brooks, Photographer, London.
'Drawing Room, St. Michael's Mount, Cornwall'. William Brooks was, afer
Robert Hunt, one of the most influential people in Cornish photography.
Born in Maidstone in Kent he visited Cornwall first in 1862 or 1863 and
stayed in the Penzance area until 1870. This view is illustrated on page
37 of Views and Likenesses by Charles Thomas, with the following
caption:
Standing
just north and east of the church, and traditionally the Lady Chapel of
the pre-Reformation Monastery, the room was restored and converted after
1740. Today, decorated in blue, it houses choice antiques and St Aubyn
family portraits. In William Brooks' stereoscopic view it appears to be
rather bare with the chairs under dust covers. The slide is labelled "No
10" with the words "W. Brooks, Photographer, London". This suggests that
he had not quite decided to settle in Penzance or had only just done so
and was not yet issuing such items in Preson's larger series'.
