[Sleeping Cat]
Calvert Richard Jones British, Welsh
Not on view
Many of Jones's pictures were made with commercial distribution in mind; the photographer hoped to contribute images to Talbot's "Pencil of Nature" and to the stock of prints for sale at Henneman's Reading establishment. In this picture, however, we see the opposite aspect of Jones's production, the work of an amateur delighting in the camera's ability to capture the intimate aspects of domestic life and to translate them into novel pictorial terms.
