General notes
Actually an aged specimen of the common black poplar - populus nigra - 3 photographs. "In the early 1890s the Rembrandt Intaglio Printing Co. was started in Lancaster, & specialised in printing reproductions of the old masters by the Rotary Photogravure process invented jointly by Karl Klic, an Austrian, and a Lancastrian, S Fawcett. At this time, Sam Thompson worked in a coal agents office in Preston, and his hobby was Photography. He showed some of his work to Mr Fawcett, who immediately offered him a job as a photographer with the Rembrandt Co, and later he took over the etching from Mr Fawcett in order to allow the latter to attend more to his duties as Technical Director. He was chief etcher until the firm transferred its headquarters to London in 1926. When the Rembrandt Intaglio Printing Co. began in Lancaster, Thompson showed examples of his photographs to the Director and was appointed photographer to the works. In 1926 the company relocated to London." (quoted from G. L. Robertson's - Honorary Secretary of the Lancaster Photographic Society - Biography on Sam Thompson written shortly after the latter's death). From the Lancashire Museums website 28/04/2015
