biography :

enry Mullins started working at 230 Regent Street in London in the 1840s and moved to Jersey in July 1848, setting up a studio known as the Royal Saloon, at 7 Royal Square. Initially he was in partnership with a Mr Millward, about whom very little is known. By the following year he was working alone and he continued to work out of the same studio for another 26 years.

His portrait were printed on a carte de visite as a small albumen print, (the first commercial photographic print produced using egg whites to bind the photographic chemicals to the paper) which was a thin paper photograph mounted on a thicker paper card. The size of a carte de visite is 54.0 × 89 mm normally mounted on a card sized 64 × 100 mm. In Mullins case he mounted his carted de visite into an album. 

this work was his style called receipt where he would print his images as 9×5 and create a unique looking set of images.

this style of his work was called cameos where he would take a variety of different portraits and use a few put into a certain layout and presented.

this style of his photography was called vignette where he would bleach the image leaving only specific parts of the image remaining to create a unique effect where the image is shown to fade.
