Jump to
Mary Dillwyn (1816 – December 1906) is considered to be the earliest female photographer in Wales, who took photographs of flowers, birds, animals, family and friends in the 1840s and 1850s. She provided a raw insight to the domestic lives of women and children living in 19th century Britain, pushing the boundaries of what could be considered as worthy subjects to photograph.
