T R WILLIAMS, The Old Larder
stereo daguerreotype, c.1851-1855, listed by the (revived) London Stereoscopic Company as First Series 04, original tape, trade label for Watkins & Hill verso, 17.2cm x 8.3cm. Note: The LSC website comments: ‘The Old Larder illustrates perfectly the unique compositional style of T. R. Williams. In two dimensions, the scene is hard to disentangle, but, viewed in stereo, as it was intended, the whole three-dimensional space is beautifully filled in a harmonious way. Notable is the chalk-marked 'signature' TRW on the end of the barrel - one of Williams' enjoyable 'trade marks'.’ This image differs slightly from the LSC example, a small change of camera angle, and a potato has been moved from in front of the cabbage, but obviously the same arrangement taken on the same day. Each daguerreotype is, of course, unique.
