JUMEAUX, Dr Benjamin 1853-1917 |
Born a British citizen in Sri Lanka, he and his siblings came to Britain during their childhood during the 1860s. He qualified as a doctor in Edinburgh in 1875. In 1879 he was the medical officer of the Oystermouth Local Board and lived in Mumbles, South Wales. He was in Swanage, Dorset in 1883 and at Grasmere, Westmoreland in 1887-1895. In the 1901 census he was described as ‘physician, surgeon, artist’, living with his son at 1 Colebrook Road, Southwick. In 1911 he was at 4 Colebrook Road, Southwick. How his interest in colour photography began, and whether it was around the time he came to Southwick, is not known. However, his collaborator, Captain W Lascelles Davidson, lived nearby in White Rock Road when they began work together on colour photography. The patents were secured in their joint names, although when Otto Pfenninger made some tricolour photographs in 1906 they were described as using the Jumeaux process. | • 20 Middle Street [workshop c1904-1905] |
