PROF EDWARD FELIX HERROUN - AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Prof Edward Felix Herroun was born in 1862 in Greenwich, London and died on the 5th January 1953 in Reigate, Surrey; he was unmarried.
His connection to Guernsey is unestablished at this time, but intriguingly he has left to posterity many of his excellent glass negatives (mainly 5 x 4 inch) which were taken in Guernsey over many years and known photographic dates are 1882 and 1902 and maybe 1912. He appears to have a connection with Les Villets in the Parish of 'Forest' - maybe a relation or friend's house. The negatives were found of island by the author.
Prof Herroun main interest appears to be landscape images with a particular leaning towards rock formations and the natural landscape. Only a few images are posted in this gallery, the bulk of them are placed in other categories to make searching easier.

E.F. Herroun co wrote many scientific books and further details can be seen on The King's College London website (Click Here)...
