Hughes, Cornelius Jabez
notes
Born in 1819, Cornelius Jabez Hughes followed his father into the business of tailoring before in 1847 learning the craft of Daguerreotype photography from John Mayall in London. Shortly afterwards he moved to Glasgow to work with J M Bernard, and then in 1850 he took over Bernard’s studio in the Monteith Rooms and went into business for himself. As a founder member of the Glasgow Photographic Society in 1854 he was a popular speaker, and throughout his career he wrote a number of articles and books on the subject, including the well-received “The Principles & Practice of Photography Familiarly Explained”.
He left Glasgow in 1855 to return to London where he bought the studio of his former teacher, J J E Mayall, and a few years later he made his final move to Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The location of his studio, not far from Queen Victoria’s residence at Osborne House, his association with Mayall (who took the first carte-de-visite portraits of the Queen in 1860), and not least his renowned skill as a portraitist, led to his receiving Queen Victoria and members of the royal families of Britain and other parts of the world as sitters before his camera.
