"David,
The number “4322” on the lower right hand side, that is not straight. Suggests this was applied using a numbering stamp by the person making the print or prints. All prints in that order or film, had that same number along with…"

Yes John is somewhat older in the CDV on the LHS. In this image he has achieved his knighthood and appears more mellow and a more considered gentleman. I do not own this image.

"Having looked again at the image there will be no need to produce an HD scan or to remove the mount and case. The man is identifiable as Sir John Hawkshaw (1811-1891)."

Deciphering a Kodak No1 2 Factory Print
This is the reverse of a Kodak factory print from no later than 1889. I am trying to decipher the codes used and would appreciate any suggestions - however determined - as to their possible meaning. This image was produced in the US. They may be annotations familiar to collectors or photo specialists.…

Brighton Beach Photography - A TinType - Part One
Recently found this Tin Type on a notable online auction site and thought what lovely bonnets the couple are wearing. On that and nothing else I decided to buy the picture. When it arrived I removed the frame and glass protection and scanned the image at 1200dpi to see what I had bought.
A superb backdrop of three of the arches on Brighton…

David,
The b&w photo of the College Street house in Bristol you posted, demolished by Bristol Corporation as was all the street although protected, proved not to be the birthplace of Wm F-G, although for years it was believed to have been, until Reece Winstone FRPS, organiser of the 1955 centenary of F-G's birth - Bristol end, sought clarification from the City Architvist. She advised that the street had been renumbered and that the birthplace was a double-fronted house at the back of the Council House (now 'City Hall'), no 12 College Street. See Bristol As It Was 1953-56 by Reece Winstone, pp 33-45 for fully illustrated story.
