Hi Robyn, will have to send the family details (as written in the newspaper) later today. The chappie who sent the photo to The Observer was Mr Walton E Barnes (I know he is def one of "yours") of Saanichton, British Columbia, Canada. The gentleman who mention in a thread from 2006 MUST be the son.
The photo is classed as a "gem".
The famous Henry-Fox Talbot only developed his first photograph negatives in 1841. This photo is thought to be dated 1856 and if so, is recognised as being one of the earliest known photographs ever taken in Accrington! How about that!
