Генри Пойнтер, Уэст Юнион, графство Кастер, штат Оклахома.

Henry Pointer began his career as an engraver and lithographer before turning to photography in the 1850s. He opened his first studio in Brighton in 1853, where he quickly gained a reputation for his ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters. In 1862 Pointer moved his studio to London, where he continued to produce portraits of high society figures, including members of the Royal Family. He also became known for his photographs of children and animals, often using props and costumes to create whimsical and humorous images. Pointer's photographs were highly sought after for their technical excellence and artistic composition. He won numerous prizes and medals for his work, including a gold medal at the 1862 London International Exhibition. Pointer continued to work as a photographer until his death in 1889. His legacy lives on through his extensive collection of photographs, which provide a fascinating insight into Victorian society and the art of portrait photography in the 19th century.
