Director-General of the Ordnance Survey between 1854 and 1875 and an active advocate for the use of photography. His book "Stonehenge, Turusachan, Cromlechs, and Sculptured Stones" (London: Edward Stanford, 1867) was illustrated with photographic prints and there is a copy in the British Library (Shelfmark: 10351.i.2). For an additional sum (1s 3d unmounted or 1s 9d mounted) one could purchase an additional photograph of "Stonehenge Restored, showing Druidical Sacrifice by Night".
The Royal Society (London) has a collection of his albumen prints of Stonehenge.
