John Flavelle b. c.1816

  • Maker (Jewellery Designer),
  • Artist (Photographer)
Although he trained as an optician, John Flavelle apparently had the aptitude to earn his living as a photographer, watchmaker, jeweller and general importer. Flavelle appears to have continued working until well into his seventies in his jewellery business, which survived him in the care of his nephews.
