Not on view
A skilled etcher and lithographer, Williamson gained recognition for his expertly hand-colored photographs of decorative objects, particularly those housed in the vast collections of London’s South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum). This eighteenth-century French porcelain and gilt-bronze clock was rumored to have belonged to Marie Antoinette.
