British waxed paper users

I am in the early stages of a project designed to establish a database of British users of Gustave le Gray's waxed paper process in the 1850s and would delighted to hear from collectors and curators who might have contemporary salt or albumen prints from waxed paper negatives in their collections. A low res thumbnail of any image would be a very useful addition.

I am interested in the work of any UK-born photographer who used the process, wherever in the world he or she might have done so. The project is exclusively concerned with users of pre-waxed negatives, and not the many contemporary post-waxed plain paper processes.

Anyone who has such images, or who has questions about the project can contact me at john@johnhannavy.co.uk

Thanks, Professor John Hannavy
