American Barque "Jane Tudor," Conway Bay. Artist: David Johnson (British). Dimensions: 21.9 x 26.7 cm (8 5/8 x 10 1/2 in.). Date: ca. 1855.Little is known about Johnson, and no other picture by him has been identified. He was listed as a "Photographic Artist" in the directory of the industrial city of Blackburn, Lancashire, during the mid-1850s, suggesting that he ran a professional studio.

But in a departure from painterly precedents, Johnson focused his entire composition on a single surprising element--the ship's anchor, shown in
