- Text:
- Benjamin Brecknell Turner (1815-1894) was one of the first British amateur photographers. Born in London, he became a ‘tallow-chandler’ and helped to run his family’s business, which sold wax-based products, such as candles and saddle soap. As noted in his perpetual diary Turner began using a camera on 10th of March 1849. He took out a license from William Henry Fox Talbot, the inventor of the calotype negative-positive process, to practice this form of photography. Talbot had only introduced this process to the public in 1841. Put simply, the process involves coating a sheet of paper with silver chloride. After exposure to light, the areas of the paper hit by the light appear darker in tone. The resulting negative is then waxed to make it transparent. From this negative a contact print can be made by putting another sheet of photosensitised paper underneath the negative and leaving it in the sun to develop.
Turner’s paper negatives are among the earliest photographic negatives ever made. He worked on a large-scale; most of his negatives are around 30 x 40 cm. His images result from a long exposure time (up to thirty minutes), which means that many of the negatives do not show any figures or animals. As these are moving objects, they would not have remained still enough during the exposure to be recorded on the negative. As his subjects he often chose (ruined) churches and abbeys, castles and manors, the countryside, villages and cottages, trees and the seaside. Most of his pictures were taken during his travels around the English countryside. He seems to have been particularly fond of Worcestershire and the village of Bredicot, where his father-in-law owned Bredicot Court. Turner compiled 60 of these pictures in the album Photographic Views of Nature (of which the V&A owns the only copy). In 1857 Turner toured Holland and took some of the earliest photographs of Amsterdam.
For his photographic excursions the calotype process was ideal. Notwithstanding the arrival of the glass plate negative or wet collodion process, pioneered by Frederick Scott Archer in 1851, Turner still preferred paper negatives. In comparison to calotypes, the wet collodion process enables a higher resolution and shorter exposure times. However, paper was lighter to carry than glass and easier to handle, as a glass plate negative had to be exposed while still wet, and developed immediately. The paper fibres of the paper also produced a distinctive aesthetic when developing images: it makes them slightly rough, with a grainy texture that seems to be a good fit for Turner’s photographs of rural scenes.

- Probably designed by Christopher Dresser (born in Glasgow, 1834, died in Mulhouse, France, 1904); made by Watcombe Pottery Co.,Torquay, Devon
Historical significance: Forms like this would not have been possible without Dresser's appreciation of the Japanese aesthetic. While there is no direct parallel to these forms in Japanese art, it was Dresser's consuming interest in the art and aesthetics of Japan, coupled with his own concerns as a designer for the function of the object and the techniques of mass production, which would inspire work such as this.

- Object Type
Watcombe Pottery were proud of their fine red clay and specialised in clean, classical shapes. This suited Dresser's own interest in strong forms. This beaker with a jug, second beaker and matching tray (Museum numbers C.59&A, C-1980) is sometimes described as a lemonade set although its exact purpose is unknown.
Place
Watcombe Pottery was established in about 1870 following the discovery of a bed of fine red clay at Watcombe House, Teignmouth Road, St Mary Church, north of Torquay. There is no documentary evidence of Dresser's collaboration with Watcombe but it is usually accepted on stylistic grounds. Dresser visited Japan on several occasions and in 1877 presented the Emperor with European artefacts including one example of Watcombe pottery.
Time
A number of potteries grew up or turned to art pottery in the west of England in the 1870s and 1880s. Their reliance on the distinctive local red clay makes their production recognisable as coming from Devon or Somerset. The design of the jug in this set closely resembles one registered by Watcombe in 1872. Documentary evidence is lacking, but it is assumed that Dresser designed for the pottery from about this time. - Text reason:

Forms like these would not have been possible without Dresser's appreciation of the Japanese aesthetic. While there is no direct parallel to these forms in Japanese art, the straight handles and geometric shapes owe much to the Japanese approach to design. - Text date:
