John Daniel Cogan (1818-1912), Bath photographer and lecturer in physical and experimental sciences.

"On the eve of World War I, the British Journal of Photography lamented the loss of one of the earliest professional photographers. Cogan was a lecturer in experimental science in Bath, obviously well trained to undertake photography, who also “took advantage of his nearness to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Fox_Talbot" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Fox Talbot</a> at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacock_Abbey" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Lacock Abbey</a> to make himself acquainted with the Talbotype process and to commence the taking of photographs on paper.” Cogan is not mentioned in Talbot’s correspondence, although of course he may have called on the inventor in person. Cogan supplemented his lecture fees with other activities; at one time he was a dentist, and he also established a photographic studio on Milsom Street in Bath, which he sold in 1866. None of his early paper photographs are known to have survived." - <a href="http://www.luminous-lint.com/app/photographer/John_Daniel__Cogan/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.luminous-lint.com/app/photographer/John_Daniel__Cogan/</a>
