D137

19th century

 

· thi photo was in Henrietta Sarah Durham Shepherd Godfree’s possession for many years, so was presumably of a close relative of hers

· the subject is unknown – it was previously thought to be

CHARLES MESSINGHAM SHEPHERD II (her husband)

(born 1864)

but in the light of the writing on the back, it is though more likely to be

JAMES EDWARD DURHAM I (her brother)

(born 1849)

· faint writing on the back in pencil: "859 1410/1 Gilt. Mrs Durham. 147 Brighton Rd. To stand. 9¾ x 7⅞ (measurement of the mounting)” plus some figures

· 147 Brighton Road, Purley, Surrey, was the address of Jesse Morris Shepherd Durham, Charles Messingham’s sister and James Edward’s wife, from presumably some time after her husband’s death in 1912 until her own death in 1936 – perhaps she had a copy of the photo made as a souvenir after her husband’s death

· a dating exercise has given: he is wearing what was known as a formal frock coat identifiable by long straight fronts, double breasted fastenings with 4 or 6 buttons (looks like it could be 6) and broad lapels - the frock coat remained a smart and respectable garment, favoured by the upper, middle and professional classes, but was more widely regarded as being rather stuffy by the 1890's - probably taken some time in the 1890's
