B/w print photograph
Acc.no: PEZPH : 1993.45.115
Identification
Item: John Branwell in duplicate
Description: A photograph of a double picture of John Branwell, eldest son of JR and Elizabeth Branwell. Elizabeth Trewhella notes how there were no twins in the family, therefore this is an example of John's experimentation with photography, which was an interest of his. Taken against a plain background, the two John's sit in chairs facing each other. The John to the right has a fading hand and legs, showing how the level of exposure has been played with.
Condition: Good - small amount of foxing across the photograph. The top edge of the photograph looks like it has been cut a little roughly.
