143. Copper Ore Vessel, Swansea 1846

"143. Copper Ore Vessel, Swansea" is an 1846 calotype photograph by Reverend Calvert R. Jones. The image depicts a ship docked in Swansea, Wales, with its masts and rigging clearly visible. The photograph exhibits the characteristic soft focus and detail loss common to early photographic processes like the calotype. It provides a glimpse into the industrial and maritime landscape of 19th-century Wales. The photograph is a testament to Jones's pioneering work in the development of photography and his interest in documenting the world around him. It is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
