DescriptionJohn Alexander (chief clerk Bow Street) with wife Mary Elizabeth (nee Thwaites) ca 1875.jpg
English: John Alexander (chief clerk to Bow Street Police Court), formally dressed in top hat but holding a racquet, with his second wife Mary Elizabeth (daughter of Vulcan Iron Works owner Robinson Thwaites) seated with dog in a garden, probably High Bank, Arnside, Lancashire.
This early photograph shows motion blur as the dog was unable to hold still during the long exposure required for the slow film of the day. However the human subjects have attained relaxed poses in their formal Victorian dress, and the picture is elegantly composed in a triangle.
