Harry Walters (1848, Uckfield – 1926) was a prominent photographer in late Victorian and Edwardian Ipswich.[1]
Walters first worked as a cook and confectioner.[2] But he built his first camera in 1870 and established himself as a professional photographer by 1894.[3] Originally based in Crown Street, Ipswich, he established his business at 11 St Margarets Plain, Ipswich in 1906, where it remained until his death in 1926.[3] He lived here with his wife and five children.[4] In addition to producing thousands of studio portraits, he also recorded local events, many of which were reproduced as postcards.[4]
He used the stage name "Harry Wilmott" appearing with a group of musicians known as the Snowflake Minstrels.[4]
Walters enjoyed producing trick photographs, including one featuring HMS Hannibal blended into a scene on Ipswich New Cut, in Ipswich dock. The photograph was used on a postcard circa 1896.[2]
