Good morning all. A new version of 'Fixed in Time', my guide to dating daguerreotypes & other cased photographs by their mats & cases, is available as both a free PDF and as a print-on-demand full-color paperback. Be forewarned that most of the designs illustrated and dated are American mats & cases, but I've included as many British products as I was able to date. The dates are based on finding over 7,000 objectively dated cased images, mostly online. You can pick up the free PDF or order the book at www.fixedintime.com . This has been a 13-year labor of love.

Brilliant, thank you!
Jason is the man for dating Beard images and accessories. He's a dear friend. So are you, Sean!
Well done, Sean. The earlier edition was invaluable! Particularly useful for British collectors is the systematic dating plan for Beard Patentee mats, and Beard studio images.
Michael, credit for the Richard Beard pages largely goes to Jason Wright. My database of dated cased images supported his suggested dates
Thanks for magnanimously sharing your magnum opus, I look forward to reading it.
