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.

Turner Album
Description
An account of the resource
An album of photos was donated to the library with no information attached other than a signature inscribed inside the cover.
'Florence M. Woodman Turner April 1907'.
From this name we found that this lady was born in Essex in 1885, died in 1977 and was buried in Marazion cemetery.
She was the daughter of Samuel Thomas Turner and Florence Maud Dennis, the latter being the daughter of Charles Dennis and Mary Woodman who lived at The Bungalow, Perran Crossroads. (Now a Chinese restaurant.)
Many of the family came down from Essex to visit Charles and Mary, and later settled here themselves.
They took many photos of the countryside around the area.
Also in the album are many photos of the family at home in Essex.
Florence M.Woodman Turner married Charles Henry Lee, son of Henry Lee, butler for Lord St. Levan on St Michaels Mount.

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.

John Gibson - Scilly and Penzance.
Born in 1827 in the Aran Islands came to Scilly in 1840. Times were hard and moved to Penzance in 1860 and apprenticed to Robert Preston. Moved back to Scilly 1865-1870. Started photography with 2 sons specialising in dramatic shipwrecks, natural phenomena and the antiquities both of Scilly and West Cornwall. Standards were high. As business was good, another shop was opened on the promenade at Penzance in 1877. In 1879 moved to 10 Market Jew Street Penzance. John Gibson remained on and his sons moved between Scilly and Penzance. In 1910Gibson retired aged 83 and died in 1920 at St Buryan. The sons and grandsons continued and in 1925v the famous guide book was produced. The sons continued in business until 1958. It is thought that John Gibson must have been making plate photographs well before 1870. An outstanding photographer.

Trevaskis Collection

Description
An account of the resource
The surname comes from the farm of Trevaskis standing close by Gwinear parish.
W.J. Trevaskis was in a geographically-constrained way a successful local photographer. Evidence exists of a carte de visit taken in 1863 although he was first listed as a photographer in 1883. The business was run from the Leedstown house now called 'An Gernyk'. From 1889 Trevaskis had a branch studio at Nettles Hill in Helston. Carte de visit imprints of the later 1870s or the 1880s announce that he was at Leedstown on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; Porthleven, Tuesdays and Wednesdays; Breage on Fridays.
Business continued into the early years of the 20th Century - it is not known when Mr Trevaskis died. The business was revived by his daughter Miss Polly Trevaskis who was listed as a photographer at Leedstown up to the start of the last war.

Turner Album
Description
An account of the resource
An album of photos was donated to the library with no information attached other than a signature inscribed inside the cover.
'Florence M. Woodman Turner April 1907'.
From this name we found that this lady was born in Essex in 1885, died in 1977 and was buried in Marazion cemetery.
She was the daughter of Samuel Thomas Turner and Florence Maud Dennis, the latter being the daughter of Charles Dennis and Mary Woodman who lived at The Bungalow, Perran Crossroads. (Now a Chinese restaurant.)
Many of the family came down from Essex to visit Charles and Mary, and later settled here themselves.
They took many photos of the countryside around the area.
Also in the album are many photos of the family at home in Essex.
Florence M.Woodman Turner married Charles Henry Lee, son of Henry Lee, butler for Lord St. Levan on St Michaels Mount.
