Summary

Photographs depicting Mrs M. Pulford and family members, including her husband and possibly a daughter or sister in law 'Mrs I. (or J.) Pulford'. These photographs are attributed to Martin Harold Pulford. Inscriptions on the original negative sleeves indicate that Mrs M. and Mrs I. (or J.) Pulford were both 'opal artists'. It is possible the women might have worked as 'opalotype' artists. Opalotypes or opal types were a format of photograph both popular and collectable at the time. The negative image was developed onto glass and then hand-tinted to appear more 'life-like'. It is likely both Mrs M. and Mrs I. (or J.) Pulford assisted photographer Martin Harold Pulford in his photography business, by hand tinting the positive image on glass.
