Photography

Nevill and her younger sisters Henrietta (1830–1912)[3] and Isabel (1831–1915) were together known as "The Trio" when they exhibited at the London Photographic Society in 1854.[1][4] Nevill was introduced to photography by W.J. Thomas, editor of the journal Notes and Queries.

Lady Caroline was a pioneering member of the Photographic Exchange Club (founded 1855) contributing architectural views of Kent from 1855 to 1858.[5] From 1859, she also contributed to the Amateur Photographic Association.[4] She has her potrait made by Camille Silvy, which is now at National Portrait Gallery.[6]
