About MeBusiness card published by George Washington Wilson whilst he was a practising painter. It was his recognition that the invention of photography changed the way in which the public looked to acquiring portraits, especially miniatures, that brought G W Wilson into the new industry and art. Whlst he continued to paint for his own pleasure from the early 1850s he earned his living from photography.
