Born #OnThisDay in 1822, at Cumbernauld House, pioneering photographer Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822–65)
You can see some of her portraits in the V&A collection www.vam.ac.uk/articles/lad...
Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822 – 65) was a pioneering and prolific amateur photographer who captured some 800 photographs, mostly from her Kensington home.
Having spent a few years living in Kildrum, I would walk my then dog around Cumbernauld Park, which hosts the house where this wonderful lady was born.
What photographs she produced, truly magical.
