A London insurance broker by trade, John H. Ahern was a polymath with a fervent interest in railway modeling, vintage cars, and photography. A Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, his photographs often blended realism and illusion in deceptively realistic landscape and street scenes. Ahern's keen eye for detail and storytelling through his images left a lasting legacy, earning him recognition as a revered figure in both the photography and hobbyist communities. – Some scuff marks, some silver mirroring along edges of print, otherwise a strong print in good condition.
