They are a group of daguerreotype collectors and scholars who should be able to help you or at least know who…"
Brett Payne replied to Marcel Safier's discussion Photographic apprenticeships"Hi Marcel,
The 1881 UK Census lists at least 143 apprentice photographers. That doesn't necessarily mean they were serving a formal apprenticeship, of course, as I think the term apprentice was often used fairly loosely, in census…"
Brett Payne posted a discussionDaguerreotype Plate Marks
I've been sent an image of a daguerreotype plate that has a stamped mark in the top right corner, apparently very similar to that shown on the Historic Camera web page of Daguerreotype Plate Manufacturer Marks, i.e. "NP: 40." The date and location provided there are simply, "c.1840" and "France." Can anyone give me more precise dates and location of this plate manufacturer,…See More
Brett Payne replied to Jayne Shrimpton's discussion Early ambrotypes (collodion positives)"OK. Well this advertisement, dated 3 April 1852, appears to offer some evidence that at least one well known London studio photographer was prepared to dip his toe in the Fox-infested waters."

Thanks Brett. I had the opportunity to visit Cotter House (in private ownership) at the weekend. The house was built by Joseph Newman who features in my contribution to the book you've just purchased. The owner didn't seem to be aware of Newman's interest in photography - not surprising I suppose..
