A member of my family was Hubert Claude Harris photographer born in 1881. He was a naval photographer in the Navy and then went on to having his own Photography Buisness on Regent Street. What I'm interested is finding out about the type of equipment and processes used in these particular times?

I used to have quite a few  books on the history of photography but can't find them now. There are lots of refs on Google.

Also, the National Media Museum in Bradford has  wonderful collections/exhibitions ~

I spent a good few hours there a few years back looking at all the old equipment.

* added -  this link should be best:
