Thomas Sutton (photographer)

[3] He opened a photographic studio in Jersey the following year under the patronage of Prince Albert.

[4] In 1855 he set up a photographic company in Jersey with business partner Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard that produced prints from calotype negatives.

The lens consisted of a glass sphere filled with water, which projected an image onto a curved plate.

[5] Sutton was the photographer for James Clerk Maxwell's pioneering 1861 demonstration of colour photography.

Forty years later, adequately panchromatic plates and films had made excellent colour reproduction possible by this method, as demonstrated by the work of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky.
