James Coventry, Gentleman Photographer (Second Hand)

A beautifully produced collection showcasing the late‑Victorian photography of James Coventry, a gifted amateur photographer from Burgate House, Fordingbridge. Active in the 1890s and early 1900s, Coventry captured evocative scenes across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Sussex, and the Isle of Wight, ranging from rural cottages and rivers to gentry households and everyday village life. The book includes around 170 images selected from more than 270 surviving glass negatives, accompanied by biographical context and an introduction to the Coventry family. A valuable visual record of the New Forest and surrounding counties at the turn of the century.
