Fenton was a pioneering Victorian photographer who similarly captured serene British landscapes and architectural subjects using albumen prints with rich sepia tones. His topographic approach to rivers, abbeys, and rural scenery shares the same picturesque sensibility and meticulous compositional craft found in Bedford's Prysor River scene.

Le Gray elevated 19th century landscape photography to fine art through his masterful handling of light, water, and natural textures using albumen and waxed paper processes. His ability to render the quiet drama of natural scenes with luminous tonal depth closely parallels Bedford's artistic treatment of stone, vegetation, and flowing water.

Frith was a celebrated Victorian topographic photographer who documented picturesque landscapes and waterways across Britain with the same careful attention to scenic beauty and serene natural composition that defines Bedford's river imagery. His albumen prints share the warm sepia palette and documentary yet artistic approach evident in this Welsh landscape.
