EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic card features the renowned Victorian photographer, Sarony of Scarborough. Sarony, whose real name was John Thomas Sarony, was a pioneer in the field of portrait photography during the 19th century. His studio was located in the picturesque coastal town of Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. The card showcases Sarony in his formal attire, wearing a square collar shirt and a sash, exuding an air of regal sophistication. The photographer holds a large camera in his right hand, while his left hand rests on a stack of photographic plates. The background is adorned with an elegant floral design, adding a touch of elegance to the image. The text on the card reads, "Sarony of Scarborough, Photographer to Her Majesty the Queen, by Appointment. Photographia, Photographic, and Artistic Studio, Scarborough." Sarony's appointment as the official photographer to Queen Victoria was a significant achievement in his career, and this card was likely used as an advertising tool to attract clients seeking a royal seal of approval for their portraits. The Victorian era was a time of great innovation in photography, and Sarony was at the forefront of this movement. His studio offered a range of photographic services, from family portraits to landscapes, and his work was highly sought after by the aristocracy and the middle class alike. This photographic card is a fascinating glimpse into the history of photography and the role of Sarony of Scarborough in shaping the industry during the Victorian era.
