Description:
Half plate daguerreotype. Half length portrait of William Ford Hulton (1811-1879). Some hand-tinting. Hulton is sitting facing forward and looking straight at the camera. He has dark, curly, thinning hair and mutton chop sideburns. He wears a dark coloured coat, trousers and waistcoat with a white wing collar shirt and dark cravat. There is a corsage on his right lapel. His left arm is resting on an object draped in a patterned piece of fabric. The photograph is framed in a plain arched-top gilt mount, It is encased in a folding maroon leather case that closes with two metal latches and is lined with blue velvet and cream silk. There is a contemporary label on the fabric identifying the sitter. Hulton was the first son and heir of William Hulton who is associated with Manchester's Peterloo Massacre of 1819, when he was responsible for calling in local yeomanry to disperse a meeting of pro-democracy reformers.
