Turner'). A number of the other drawings are by family members, notably: Turner's mother Lucy Jane Turner, née Fownes (1786-1870); his wife Agnes Chamberlain (1828-1887), who grew up at Bredicot Court, Worcestershire; his sister Elizabeth Brecknell Turner; his daughter Agnes Lucy (1851-1901); and her husband Henry Robert Robertson (1839-1921). Of the remaining works, many appear to be by expert hands or at least accomplished amateurs, and include paintings by E. Preston, F.G. Jones, Elizabeth Lucas, Charles May, Mark Bond, W.H. Urwick, T.M. Joy, J. Churchill, and George Fisher.One of the earliest amateur photographers, Benjamin Brecknell Turner - a chandler by trade - began experimenting with the medium barely ten years after its invention, making an important contribution to its rapid development. He took out a licence in 1849 to practise Fox Talbot's patented photographic process, and soon began exhibiting widely. In 1852 he showed six photographs of the interior of Crystal Palace at the first exhibition devoted solely to photography, held by the Royal Society of Arts in London, and in 1855 he won a bronze medal whilst exhibiting at the Universal Exhibition in Paris. The following year the Photographic Society of London was formed, Turner one of the founding members. He is best-known for his evocative scenes of rural life, typically photographing picturesque, quintessentially English scenes, such as ruined abbeys and castles, thatched barns and farm implements, half-timbered houses, crumbling cottages, ancient oak trees and woodland paths. The V&A holds an album of his works, entitled Photographic Views from Nature, containing some of the earliest photographs of rural England as well as images of the Crystal Palace. The album - in a binding not dissimilar to ours - was assembled by Turner in the mid 1850s, and purchased by the V&A from his descendents in 1982.
