Jane Wigley

Jane Nina Wigley (1820–1883) was a British photographer who opened a studio in Newcastle upon Tyne in September 1845. In June 1847, she moved her business to London where she produced coloured or enamelled daguerreotypes in King's Road, Chelsea (1847–1848) and Fleet Street (1848–1855).[1] Wigley was apparently a pioneer in the use of a prism in the camera in order to reverse the daguerreotype image.[2]
