michael g. jacob replied to Paul Godfrey's discussion Beach Photographers"Beach photography seems to have started pretty much with the advent of the railways and day trips to the sea, I would imagine. I have quite a few ambrotypes and tintypes of the genre, which I'll attach here. AMBRO_2 is particularly interesting,…"

Does anyone have any information about the Egerton brothers, Jeremiah and John, who were the subject of litigation by Richard Beard in 1845? I have read what’s available (R. D. Wood, et al), but I am looking specifically for any daguerreotype or daguerreotype case which can be identified as having (possibly) been made by the Egertons.Many thanks.
