JOHN DILLWYN LLEWELYN. [Thereza Dillwyn Llewelyn with Her Microscope]

[Thereza Dillwyn Llewelyn with Her Microscope]. Artist: John Dillwyn Llewelyn (British, Swansea, Wales 1810-1882 Swansea, Wales). Dimensions: 23.5 x 18.7 cm (9 1/4 x 7 3/8 in. ). Date: ca. 1854.
The border of Llewelyn's image is a photogram of ferns, a clever variation on the decorative borders of lace, cut paper, or ink and watercolor that embellished many nineteenth-century albums. In the central vignette we see the photographer's daughter Thereza (1834-1926), with her books, botanical specimens, and scientific apparatus. [label for Gilman IV].
