Rupert Potter took this photo in 1896. He was Beatrix Potter’s father and a photographer who started in the 1860s. He also helped painter Sir John Everett Millais by photographing backgrounds and sitters. Rupert shot landscapes too. The photo shows Eeswyke, a place the Potter family visited often. He became a member of the Photographic Society of London in 1869. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of his work.
