The rev. canon Lightfoot before 1880

This is a portrait of the Reverend Joseph Barber Lightfoot, D.D., the Bishop Designate of Durham. Created by Lock & Whitfield before 1880, the image is a black and white photograph of the reverend looking downwards and slightly to the left. It is presented in an oval frame with an ornate, embossed border. The photograph is cropped to the chest, highlighting the reverend's bald head and dark, thick sideburns. This portrait is a biographical image, common in the Victorian Era to capture prominent figures and their accomplishments.
