Malton Museum Lecture: Photography History
MALTON MUSEUM: LECTURE PROGRAMME SUMMER 2025
Thursday 21st August - Nicholas Hatton
The Photo Detective – Uncovering additional context from 19th century photographs from Malton Photographic Studio
In 1850, the first of many photographic artists came to Malton. Photography had only been commercially viable for about a decade, but over the next 50 years, it really took off. Everyone wanted their picture taken, and the number of photographers in town rapidly grew. So, who were these photographers? What happened to them? Who got rich, and who went broke? Who had a fight in church?
The earliest studios were temporary and basic but eventually permanent studios appeared around town. So, where were these studios? Who commissioned a purpose-built studio? What can still be seen around town today?
Even after more than a century, a lot of original photos from these Malton-based photographers are still around, mainly because so many were made. We’ll look at some photos from the presenter’s personal collection to provide additional context and insights: What can we determine about when and where a photo was taken? What can we discover about the people in the photos and the lives they lived?
This lecture will be supported with images from Nick’s research.
All the lectures are in Malton Assembly Rooms and entrance is though the Museum on Yorkersgate. They all start at 7p.m. and they cost £10 per head. Booking online is through the events section of the Malton Museum website or you can pay at the door.
