About this object
A carte de visite style studio portrait photograph of Reverend P H Cornford. Cornford is seated at a desk positioned slightly to his right. There are two large books on the table and the Reverend has his hand positioned inside one as if he is turning a page. He wears a long dark coat with dark trousers and boots. His neckbeard hair is white, otherwise he is clean shaven. His gaze does not meet the camera.
