Model Yacht Pond & St Peter Port & Reflection 1893
Model Yacht Pond & St Peter Port & Reflection 1893

This amazing image was taken by Edgar Dupuy (1840- 1911) in 1893 after several years of trying.

The photograph shown here consists of two individual images pasted together to make a panoramic view. The author has digitally cleaned the originals up and made the join between the individual photographs seamless for a better viewing experience. The small web view unfortunately cannot do the image justice.

The dedication and expertise to take this type of image was great and even today with modern equipment most people would struggle. Due to modern development in the harbour area, this actual shot cannot be repeated.

Edgar Dupuy was an accomplished Guernsey man. 'a man of great scientific learning, biologist, x-ray pioneer, perfumer and pharmacist'.

An excellent article by P.D.M. Costen depicting his life was published in La Societe Guernesiaise Report
and Transactions 2014 starting on page 704. The article minus some copyright images can be seen in this pdf. Thanks to Peter Costen for his permission to publish this.
