Alfred Worthington (1837-1925) is celebrated as the last of the artisan painters in Wales. Born in Dover the son of a naval lieutenant he is believed to have earned a living as a trapper in Canada before returning to England and then moving to Aberystwyth for his health in the early 1870’s. He established a photography studio in the town and, though he had no formal training also produced a prodigious amount of painted works for locals and the booming tourist trade.
