Curatorial description (3 December 2015)
The photograph that William Lake Price submitted for inclusion in "The Photographic Album for the Year 1855" was titled "The Miniature", and was accompanied by lines from Moliere's play "Pastorale Comique" (1667) praising and celebrating the beauty of youth. The son of Francis William Price and his wife Caroline Matilda (née Lake), William Lake Price was born into a well-off family. During the late 1820s, he studied architectural and topographical drawing and watercolour with the Paris-born architect, draftsman, and painter Augustus Charles Pugin (1762-1832).
