- Lot Description
Bust Portraits of Father Campbell '1806 Bristol', Son 'Archibald Campbell, aged 5, 1811' and Baby 'Miss Campbell, afterwards Mrs. M. Ponton', as inscribed in period on reverse of each. He is depicted in watercolor with cut black paper jacket having black ink detail, both children are in cut black paper with black ink detail, all are in matching beveled rosewood frames, having gilt liners and glass, brass hanging loops, OS: 6" x 5", SS: 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". Good condition. These are portraits of the origins of two important Scots families. Archibald Campbell (and father, his son and his progeny) ran the Argyle Brewery on Chambers Street in Edinburgh, founded in 1710, in existence until 1970 (became Hope and King in 1896). His daughter Helen Scott Campbell married Mungo Ponton of Edinburgh in 1840. Ponton was the Founder and Secretary of the National Bank of Scotland and an avid early photographer, whose discovery of the Potassium Bichromate process would ultimately enable the mechanical printing of photos. Ponton and Campbell both had moved to Bristol year round for their health by 1841. Helen and Mungo had seven children, she passed in 1842, he in 1880.
