Burial Source: Cemetery Record. Date of Burial: January 27, 1865, 'England, Kent, Canterbury Parish Registers, 1538-1986'.
Lady Clementina Hawarden was a pioneering and prolific amateur photographer who captured some 800 photographs.Clementina married Cornwallis Maude, 4th Viscount Hawarden, in 1845 and lived in London until 1857, when she moved with her husband to the family estate in Dundrum, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Here, she first started to experiment with photography, taking stereoscopic landscape photographs (capturing two slightly offset photographs to create a 3D effect) around the Dundrum estate.
From around 1862 she concentrated on photographing her daughters in costume tableaux, a popular subject at the time.
She exhibited her works with the Photographic Society of London in 1863 and 1864. Her Titled Studies from Life and Photographic Studies were well received, and she was awarded the Society's silver medal in both years.
Tragically, Lady Clementina never collected the medals as she passed away from pneumonia on 19th January 1865.
