@MegDolanPhoto Wonderful news Dr Dolan, huge achievement 👏

2/2 Capitalising on her photographic mobility, she offered portraiture for 'Invalids and ladies attended in their own homes'. Mrs Atkinson promoted and demonstrated equal status for a woman in professional photography by highlighting her gender in the 1860 advertisement.

[Dr Rose Teanby @RoseTeanby]

Continuing the focus on Mrs Atkinson, travelling photographer in 1860, by August she reached Northallerton in North Yorkshire. The Stockton Herald advertised 'Atkinson’s Photographic Van' centrally located near the church, offering large & small portraits 'taken by a Female'. 1/2

[Dr Rose Teanby @RoseTeanby]

2/2 Mrs Atkinson stayed 'in Mr Stephenson's field, behind the Unicorn Inn' in Richmond. She brought the new technology of photography to the local residents who may not have seen a photograph before, presenting women as a commercial equal at a time of social inequality.

[Dr Rose Teanby @RoseTeanby]

This week introduces one of the least visible of all early British women photographers but possibly one of the most significant. Mrs Atkinson was an itinerant photographer travelling with her 'Photographic Van' in her 1860 Richmond and Ripon Chronicle advertisement. 1/2
