Sorry. Just as I was writing this earlier today, I realised the Rhine & Its vicinity might be another series. I have some of these but not many, I'm afraid. Graham, the waterfalls to identify are earlier than W. England. The ones in my sample album…
Mark,
If you want to examine one of the Southworth & Hawes bridal portraits mentioned in this thread, we have one you can see. As suggested above, there are a number of them illustrated in the Romer & Wallis catalogue raisonné. Also, we've got an o…
Dear Karen,
You probably know this already, but I have recently been reading Richard Morris' 1997 Daguerreian Annual article on Llewelyn and the daguerreotype. As well as discussing the experiments between Claudet & Llewelyn, it also interestingly…

Looking forward to adding it to my chronology. By the way I have another segment of my site, not yet online; for now I am calling it:
"Photography: essential texts"
I have several published and unpublished texts which I intend to put on line as PDF files [ This is the only format I have found, to date, which does not lose footnotes if you transfer texts from Word] Texts such as the Wedgwood-Davy paper; An Account of the Art…etc.,; Waterhouse: History of the Camera Obscura, History of the Salts of Silver; Lady Eastlake on Photography; Maskelyne: The Future of Photography written 1846-7: Niepce: correspondence 1826 on relating to his English visit - translated in English Plus several others written by yours truly.

- BTW, we have a carte de visite of Ernest Lacan with an envelope (dated?) sent to Talbot when he stayed in a Parisian hotel. Would this possibly help your chronology? Yes! is it dated?

- Dear Kenny and Jenny,
I have recently spent some time with Terry Bennett - we share a common interest in Jocelyn, that is William Nassau. You probably know of the two albums he has containing the Jocelyn and Vacher material centered around Shanghai in the mid/late 1850s. Over the last 5 years i have had an interest in the first photographers in Taiwan and this has, of course, now spread to included the treaty ports and Shanghai in particular. Terry informed me that you might have some related Jocelyn material.
I am currently working on two Vacher albums that are in a local collection and attempting to reconcile the contents of the two related collections.
I am sorry that I have not been in touch for some time - a lot of water has gone under the bridge so to speak and I now have not connection with Lacock or the National Trust; I am once again a free agent.
Kind regards
michaelg [Michael Gray]
