The travelling photography studio of William Barton Micklethwaite, father of F.W. Micklethwaite, in Ireland (possibly Newry, County Down). The wet collodion photography process, used at the time, required that the image be developed while the plate was still wet, thus giving rise to portable darkrooms such as this one. Possibly a young F.W. Micklethwaite sitting on the stairs, with his mother in the doorway. (See: Denison, John. Micklethwaite's Muskoka, p. 8. (Erin, Ontario: The Boston Mills Press, 1993).
