A Marion Camera.
In the mid nineteenth century the science of photography was
taking huge steps forward and beginning to have an impact on
everyday lives. One of the great pioneers in the field of
imaging was the firm of Marion & Co. founded by Augustin Marion
in the early 1840s. From 1846 their premises was in Regent
Street before moving to much larger facilities in Soho Square,
where a long association saw 22 & 23 Soho Square evolve into the
home of modern photography. In the twentieth century,
amalgamations and the development of the business saw Marion
become the Ilford photographic empire and ultimately Rank. So
what is all this to do with Honeywood? The connection with
Marion & Co comes through Honeywood’s owner John Pattinson Kirk.
He was the managing partner in Marion & Co. Read the full story by clicking HERE |
