Scott & Wilkinson (Cambridge)
Floating Angel
n.d.
Cabinet card
Private collection of Roberta Etter
LL/61928
The model appears to be floating toward heaven in a white billowous gown - like the old hooped petticoats. Her head is tossed back and her eyes are closed. The "Scott" side of the partnership was David James Scott b:1859 Cambridge. Scott was a keen member of the Cambridge and District Photographic Club, winning a bronze plaque for a portrait he exhibited in their first exhibition with the Bedford Camera Club. The "Wilkinson" part of the partnership was Edgar Wilkinson b:1863 Huddersfield Yorks. In 1881 Edgar was an apprentice photographer in Huddersfield. It seems that the Scott and Wilkinson partnership was relatively short lived, but the firm retained the joint names.
