madannie77 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wherever it is, I can't see it in the British Museum's scanned copy of "Sheffield and it's Neighbourhood" by Theophilus Smith as is claimed. http://access.bl.uk/item/pdf/lsidyv3c1259d0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/10581-professional-photographers-in-sheffield-and-rotherham/#entry95109 In 1863 Theophilus Smith made a series of small photographs of rocks, caverns other picturesque features of the Wortley area, and it was around these that grew idea of John Holland's book Wharnecliffe, Wortley and the Valley of the Don, published in 1864. The problems posed by `the almost ceaseless motion of the trees in situation so elevated' is noted, and this was no doubt very detrimental to photography in the days of long exposures. Owing to the success of the `Wortley' volume ,Holland wrote Sheffield and its Neighbourhood, published in 1865, and again Theophilus Smith provided local views of subjects referred to.
