Charles Harry Jones
Although his father was a master butcher, Charles Harry Jones became a gardener. He worked on a number of private estates in England from the 1890s. As a photographer, Jones was noted for his documentation of the fruits of his gardening labours. Jones also offered his services as a photographer to other gardeners but his work was largely unknown even to his family, until the photographic prints were discovered by accident in 1981. Sean Sexton found a suitcase containing hundreds of prints of vegetables, fruits and flowers at an antiques market in London.
