Photographer: Cornelius Jabez Hughes (1819-1884). Queen Victoria and Royalty at Osborne, August 11, 1881. Albumen print, mounted to board. 19,7 x 23,8 cm. Photographer's name printed and sitter's names annotated in ink below the image on the mount.

Born in England in 1819, Hughes began his photographic career in 1847 as an assistant in the studio of J.J.E. Mayall in London. After briefly working in Glasgow, he returned to London in 1855 to assume ownership of Mayall's studio. Hughes later built his own studio on the Isle of Wight, where he often photographed Queen Victoria. Toward the end of his life he teamed up with his assistant, Gustav Mullins, to form a new partnership, Hughes & Mullins. Hughes was popular both as a portrait photographer and as a writer on the subject of photography.
