Zu einem der wichtigsten englischen Protagonisten der Stereofotografie in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts entwickelte sich T. R. Williams, der zunächst nur in der „zweiten Reihe“ tätig war: Er soll schon früh als Operateur bei Claudet und bei Beard in London gearbeitet haben. Seine exzellenten Kenntnisse auf dem Gebiet der Stereodaguerreotypie brachte Williams zu Beginn der 1850er Jahre enormen Erfolg ein. Legendär sind seine Stereoskopen mit Ansichten aus dem Kristallpalast, aber auch die stillebenhaften, mitunter allegorisch gemeinten Kompositionen. (J.V.)
