A photograph of a cobbled pathway leading from a street in Newlyn. On the right are a flight of granite steps leading to an upstairs door. A young girl stands in the centre of the street looking elsewherem with a milk churn on the floor by her side. A man, possibly a fisherman, stands to the left looking at the camera, wearing a bowler hat and having a thick beard and moustache. A small girl, half obscured, stands to the right. An identival negative to PEZPH : 1993.43.118, but in this version, the photograph has been given a decorative border.

A photograph of a double picture of John Branwell, eldest son of JR and Elizabeth Branwell. Elizabeth Trewhella notes how there were no twins in the family, therefore this is an example of John's experimentation with photography, which was an interest of his. Taken against a plain background, the two John's sit in chairs facing each other. The John to the right has a fading hand and legs, showing how the level of exposure has been played with.
