George Dewhurst Atwood was rector of Hinton in Northamptonshire. Married Catherine Sanders. Father of Arthur Maxwell Atwood.
The case may be later than the daguerreotype.
The proportions of the image of the plate are somewhat distorted as it was photographed at an angle and then stretched to appear more or less as it does straight on.
