William Edward Kilburn
William Edward Kilburn (1818-1891) was an English photographer, noted for his pictures of the British Royal family.[1]
Kilburn photographed the large Chartist rally at Kennington Common in 1848; this was one of the earliest photographs of a large crowd scene.[2] Kilburn's photograph of the Kennington Chartist rally was rediscovered in the British Royal Collection in the 1980s after being thought lost.[2]
Kilburn's photographs of the event were appreciated by Prince Albert who appointed Kilburn "Photographist to Her Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Albert".[3] Kilburn made the first daguerreotype portraits of Queen Victoria and her family in April 1847.[2]
Kilburn's studio was at 234 Regent Street, from where he produced his daguerreotypes.[3]
