Walter Woodbury (1834 - 1885) was a British photographer and inventor. In May
1857 he arrived in Batavia where he founded a photo studio together with another
British photographer James Page (1833-1865). In early 1863 Woodbury returned
to England where he worked on several inventions and technical innovations. One
of these inventions was the Woodburytype slide which is a form of photographic
glass slide. The 31 Woodburytype slides shown in this section all have dimensions
3¼ inch x 3¼ inch, and are produced using the photographic negatives that were
produced by Woodbury and Page during their stay in Java.
