Hills & Saunders was one of the leading Victorian photographic firms, started as a partnership between Robert Hills & John Henry Saunders.[1] They were social photographers with studios at different times in: London (society), Harrow & Eton & Rugby (locations of leading schools), Oxford & Cambridge (leading universities), Aldershot & Sandhurst (army). They were successful (photographers to the royal family e.g. Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom with some items still in the Hills & Saunders photos in the Royal Collection.[2]), but ultimately unsuccessful at a business level with a number of branches failing and only their two main school branches (Harrow & Eton) continuing well into the 20th Century. Ultimately the Harrow photos remain saved by the school and now in private hands and the images can be seen at Iconic Photographs and the name continues in the Eton branch. Once one of the bigger / more prestigious Victorian photographic studios, little now remains.
