Hi Gael,
I have been doing a lot of research recently on Beard's Scottish and Irish Patents - the results are published in the latest Daguerreian Annual - and I have to tell you Beard did patent his 'Improvements' in both Ireland and Scotland. Th...
Dear Bob,
Thank you for that information; are you saying that Beard DID NOT buy the provision to cover 'Her Majesty's colonies and plantations' as part of his purchase from Miles Berry?
Beard advertised colonial licenses in 'The Times' 18 April ...
Hello,
‘Specification of Miles Berry Obtaining Daguerreotype Portraits, &c. No 8194 AD 1839’ which states ‘the term of years therein mentioned, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within England, Wales, and the Town of Berwic...
Dear Michael
I have seen both Engalnd' and all her colonies' and England 'and all her colonies and plantations' cited by others as direct quotes. I shall go in search of the exact citations.

- Hi Gael, Hope you are having fun as well as getting your research done. Thanks for the tips. I have checked the Pitt Rivers catalogue but have been meaning to contact Elizabeth Edwards directly. I'd be interested to hear who else is working on photographs from the anthropological perspective. The survey of Australian photographs in UK collections sounds very interesting. There was a little of this in Julia Peck's Thesis (for which 100 thank yous!). Sweet seems to cut a very low profile in UK collections which surprises me.
Just writing up his transition to dry plates - your views on this were very helpful! If 'Instantaneous Process' can be taken to mean dry plates, he may have started using them as early as 1878 (not 1880 as I thought). Happy holiday / researching!
