Penllergare; Printing 1853 - 1856

"Penllergare; Printing" is a pair of calotypes created by John Dillwyn Llewelyn between 1853 and 1856. The first image is a view of Penllergare, Llewelyn's home, and is a classic example of the picturesque aesthetic popular in 19th-century photography. The second image captures a woman, likely Llewelyn's wife, leaning out of a window and looking out. This image demonstrates the experimental nature of early photography and Llewelyn's artistic approach to the medium.
