Preparing biographies In the 1856 Norwich Photographic Society exhibition, the society member W. A. Todd displayed four waxed-paper views, all of architecture in Norwich and Bury St. Edmunds. He also exhibited some small portraits done in collodion, which, according to the Norfolk News, “leave nothing to be desired.” Although the identification is tentative, Todd appears to have been a tailor’s assistant living in Norwich who eventually rose to being a master tailor.
