It is not very often that we feature one of our esteemed photographers, today we pay homage to Augusta Caroline, Baroness Clonbrock. Please do have a good read of the comments and links below, you will learn everything you need to know about this pioneer of photography. O Mac PRO Tell us some of the possible background of how the collection came to the NLI: "Apparently the NLI acquired the Clonbrock collection of nearly 3,000 photographs for £25 in 1976". Imagine if these had been lost to us! Thank you to all who commented today.
