Photograph of unknown painting, from mystery album
One of 140 images from a fascinating album. For more information see the full set
From 26-28 February I will be in the Truprint Photography Gallery at the Who Do You Think You Are? Live event at London’s Olympia. In the run up to that event, and with the help of show visitors over the three days, my aim is to use this album as an example of how Flickr, and the wider web community, can help identify these mystery, orphaned photograhs.
Just how many of these images can we identify, and what can we find out about the people they portray?

What a good spot, especially seeing as the album this was in has strong Northumberland connections.

I think one of the English Masters possibly turner painted the herd or another spot to look would be the work of Thomas Bewick the engraver.
Possibly a picture of the Chillingham wild cattle herd in Northumberland.
