HENRY DIXON b. 14 April 1820; d. January 20, 1893 Henry Dixon, one of the Society's main photographers was the son of Thomas Dixon, a master copperplate printer, and Elizabeth Sutton. Henry's elder brother also became a copperplate printer and in 1836 Henry became apprenticed to his elder brother. By 1864 Henry was located at 56 Albany Street, Regent's Park, NW as a Photographer. Apart from his work for the "Society of Photographing Relics of Old London" Henry Dixon photographed private art collections and was one of the inventors of panchromatic photography. His son Thomas James became a partner in the business in 1886 and the firm's name became "Henry Dixon & Son", which company carried on until 1941. Thomas James Dixon died on February 25, 1942, leaving in his will the photographs of London, their quality and intrinsic value being recognized by Henry's son at the end of his career.
