Description
An account of the resource
A small collection of photos from the family of Samuel John 'Lamorna' Birch. 1869-1955, the founder of the colony of artists and writers who lived and worked in and around the Lamorna Valley near Penzance, Cornwall.
He was born near Liverpool in 1869 and adopted the additional name of Lamorna after 1896.
He was married to Houghton Emily Vivian and they had two daughters, Elizabeth Lamorna (known as Mornie) and Joan Houghton.
The collection shows Lamorna with well known public figures; of himself at work; and many of his wife and children.
Included are snapshots of many of his friends at social events.
An excellent biography of him was written by Austin Wormleighton , 'A Painter Laureate, Lamorna Birch and his cicle'. Published by Sanson & Company. 1995.
These photographs were donated by Judith Kerr, widow of Adam, grandson of Lamorna Birch.

Pye Collection
Description
An account of the resource
The collection consists of 422 photos which were donated by the St Just in Rosalind and St Mawes Heritage Group. The collection consists of images of people and views from a number of photographers who were working in Cornwall from the mid 19th Century.
It seems that almost every town in Cornwall had one or more photographers working in studios. Brooks, Beringer, Burrow, Collenso, Gibson and Preston are just some of those.
Many won awards for their work and won medals awarded by the Cornwall Polytechnic Society which opened in Falmouth in 1833.
Carte-de-visite became very popular after 1854, often used as calling cards containing the photographic mount, there are many examples of this type.
It is apparent that people turned up in their "Sunday Best" to be photographed , it is interesting to note the fashion changes over time from the Victorian era to the Edwardian.
All the while changes were taking place with the photographic process, from plate and gradually to film and negative and the digital process that we have today.
This collection is a very interesting record of the work of the Victorian photographer.

Carte-de-visite became very popular after 1854, often used as calling cards containing the photographic mount, there are many examples of this type.
It is apparent that people turned up in their "Sunday Best" to be photographed , it is interesting to note the fashion changes over time from the Victorian era to the Edwardian.
All the while changes were taking place with the photographic process, from plate and gradually to film and negative and the digital process that we have today.
This collection is a very interesting record of the work of the Victorian photographer.
