Hi everyone. I'm just doing some research on a photo I have from the 1880s. I wondered if anyone could pinpoint a particular date in the 1880s based on her fashion. Thank you for any help!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Daguerreotype Brooch and Note Inside.
« on: Tuesday 15 January 19 21:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there. I have this wonderful daguerreotype brooch and I was just wondering about a few things.

Firstly, the man's hat. Any idea if his hat suggests a particular occupation? Someone with better knowledge will hopefully be able to tell.

Secondly, opening the brooch very carefully there was a note and two pieces of paper belonging to a 'Single Ticket ___h Concert' no. 87 with the name Thomas Field, Hon Sec. Could this tell us a clue about the person in the photograph or was it simply backing they decided to use for the brooch? I believe the handwritten note says: "Up by the board; five per cent commission on all the premiums obtained by the latter within one years from their appointment. I have no doubt of your willingness to assist me in extending the business of the society without this offer but ___ it may be some ___" and then the rest of the note has been cut.

Any information you can pick up from any of these interesting pieces please do let me know. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Victorian Wedding Photo? "Though out of sight, but not of mind"
« on: Saturday 26 May 18 11:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone. I love collecting CDVs and cabinet cards. I have a wonderful cabinet card of a lady who I believe is in her wedding dress. She has written on the back of the cabinet card: "Though out of sight, but not of mind, I give to you this day this little token, true and kind, to you. Remember me". Beautiful :). And now I get to remember her!

Also the studio existed from 1886-1907, but I'm guessing it was taken around 1890-1895? Thank you for any help.
