Edward Bracher
Edward Bracher (1823 – 31 May 1887) was a pioneering Victorian photographer based in Oxford, England.[1]
Bracher was born in
Oxford University Portrait Rooms" with "Portraits takes on Ivory, Paper, and Glass" as well as "Gentlemen's Mansions & Churches Photographed".[5] Bracher lived over the premises with his wife and two children.[6]
Henry Taunt, later another well-known photographer, joined Bracher at the age of 14 as a member of staff in 1856.[7] In 1863, Bracher sold his business to the Oxford booksellers and stationers, Wheeler and Day.[8] The business transferred to 106 High Street, but Henry Taunt stayed at the original premises as photographic manager for a brief period.[6]
He died at his brother's residence in Sedgehill, Reading, aged 64.[9][10]
