Fry (Elizabeth, née Gurney, 1780-1845). English prison reformer, social reformer, philanthropist and Quaker. A quarter-plate daguerreotype portrait from a drawing, 1850s, the sitter seen with her familiar bonnet and shawl seated with hands apart and holding a handkerchief in her right hand, some scratching, oval brass mat and morocco case with clasps, together with a second quarter-plate daguerreotype of a young unidentified girl, from a drawing, c. 1850s, somewhat scratched and rubbed, oval brass mat with embossed decoration, morocco case with fastener and gilt details for the photographers Lock & Whitfield, 178 Regent Street, to base (Quantity: 2) The original portrait from which this daguerreotype of Elizabeth Fry was made has not been identified. The pose and look is similar to the oil painting by Charles Robert Leslie c. 1823, though this is three-quarter length and perhaps later in life.
