He was educated at Eton and Oriel College, Oxford, where he graduated first class in mathematics. Jones was ordained a priest and became the Rector of Loughor. He also travelled extensively in Europe, particularly in Italy and Malta, and took a great interest in the sea and maritime objects, ships being his favourite subject for both his paintings and photographs. A close friend of Christopher Rice Mansel Talbot whom he met at Oxford, Jones moved in the same circles as Henry Fox Talbot and came to hear about his early discoveries in photography. Jones's work stands out particularly in the early development of photography because of his ability to fuse his new skill in photography with his experience as a marine watercolourist. Jones is credited with having taken the first photograph in Wales, a daguerrotype of Margam Castle, in 1841.

Est: £200 - £300
A 19TH CENTURY GLASS PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATE, possibly taken by the Welsh painter and known photographer Calvert Richard Jones (1804-1877). Showing Oystermouth and Mumbles from the sea. The plate 10" x 12". This plate is believed to be the earliest photographic image of Oystermouth known and is very similar to the painting "Oystermouth from The Sea" by James Harris C1860. Calvert Jones and James Harris were friends and this suggests that the photograph was used as a background to the painting as it would be difficult to sketch from the "Cockle Beds". Calvert Jones was also a friend of W.H.Fox - Talbot one of the pioneers of photography, who influenced him to take many photographs in and around Swansea.

Est: £150 - £250
Reverend Calvert Richard Jones (1804-1877), after Penry Williams TRAVELLERS IN THE ROMAN CAMPAGNA Watercolour, inscribed verso 15.5 x 21cm Calvert Richard Jones (c. 1804-1877) mathematician, painter, musician, scientist, photographer and clergyman, was one of Wales' great unsung photographic pioneers, whose work shows a rare artistic vision and great skill. After the announcement of Fox-Talbot's discovery of photography in 1839, Calvert Jones became an enthusiastic and imaginative exponent of the laborious and expensive daguerreotype process and took, in 1841, what is believed to be the first photograph taken in Wales, an image of Margam Castle, near Port Talbot, which is now held by the National Library of Wales. Jones was, however, an artist before he was a photographer. His careful drawings and watercolours show a strong sense of colour and form, with his mathematical training leading to a great concern for correct perspective. He painted throughout his life, mainly along the Swansea coast, although he did travel and sketch extensively throughout Europe. His work was neglected for nearly one hundred years after his death, and only now is his genius beginning to be recognised.
