He became closely connected with its British inventor, W.H. Fox Talbot through relatives and friends who lived near Jones' home in South Wales.\r\nThis photograph is one of several that he made of Bristol which focus on the architecture of an earlier period. Jones was photographing at a time when parts of old Bristol were being lost to Victorian developments. Some of the small paned casement windows have already been replaced by larger panes of glass or sash windows. The adjoining building is a coffee and tea exchange.","physicalDescription":"This photograph is of a timber-framed, 5 storeyed building. The windows on the upper  floors have multiple small, square panes and there a balcony of 'chinoiserie' design right across the building at first floor level, just below it is the word 'BANK'. The adjoining building displays the words 'Tea and Coffee Exchange'. \r\nFading to the right corner and left edge of the photograph.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Jones, Calvert Richard (Rev.)","id":"A4243"},"association":{"text":"photographer","id":"AAT25687"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"salted paper","id":"AAT127389"}],"techniques":[{"text":"calotype","id":"AAT53484"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Salted paper print from calotype negative","categories":[{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2010EJ6124"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"X","shelf":"353","box":"E"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"photograph","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Bristol","id":"x28767"},"association":{"text":"photographed","id":"x30151"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"c.1948","earliest":"1943-01-01","latest":"1952-12-31"},"association":{"text":"photographed","id":"x30151"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"PH.55-1983","id":"O139215"},"association":""}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"21.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"16.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"Many of Jones' photographs made in Bristol focus on the architecture of an earlier period. At a time when parts of old Bristol were being lost to Victorian development, Jones was aware of the ephemeral nature of the older buildings. In this photograph the small-paned casement windows have already been replaced with larger panes of glass or by sash windows. This image is more than a record, it is a thoughtfully composed grid of light and dark with the timber framed building achieving prominence.","historicalContext":"The building in the photograph was occupied by Stuckey's Banking Company (the word 'BANK' is visible below the  balcony) and was known as Castle Bank. In 1855, it became a shop selling tea and in 1860, when  it was taken over by a hatter, it became known as the 'Dutch House'.","briefDescription":"19thC; Jones Calvert, Old building on corner of Wine St","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[{"text":"Bristol","id":"x28767"}],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"building","id":"AAT4792"},{"text":"street","id":"AAT8247"},{"text":"windows","id":"AAT2944"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["PH.52-1983"],"accessionNumberNum":"52","accessionNumberPrefix":"PH","accessionYear":1983,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-05","recordCreationDate":"2007-09-21","availableToBook":false}}
