b.1802
Alfred Rosling was one of the earliest of photographers, and by 1846 his calotypes for the stereoscope were on sale in London.
He was also involved in micro-photography. In December 1854 his "Specimens of exceedingly minute copies of Prints and Papers" together with a microscope, were on exhibition at the Royal Society of Arts.
Rosling was also the first Hon. Treasurer of the Photographic Society.
