I hold an original photograph taken by Arthur Debenham of the owner and crew of Yacht 'Ruth', in Cowes in or after 1902. I am trying to trace information on the back ground to the photo, the crew and especially Mr B Densnam (or Densham). He feel the owner is an important person from that era as Arthur Debenham was chosen by the Royal Family of that time to take photographs during their visits to the Isle of Wight. Can you help me further or direct me to a source of this information?

What can you tell us?close

There are occasions when we are unsure of the identity of a sitter or artist, their life dates, occupation or have not recorded their family relationships. Sometimes we have not recorded the date of a portrait. Do you have specialist knowledge or a particular interest about any aspect of the portrait or sitter or artist that you can share with us? We would welcome any information that adds to and enhances our information and understanding about a particular portrait, sitter or artist.
