Photograph Resources, Tips, Tutorials / Catalogue records for Victorian CDV photographers
« on: Friday 16 June 17 14:42 BST (UK)  »
I think I know the answer to this, but I'll try my luck anyway... Is it really the case that Victorian photographers records haven't generally survived? I have quite a few cabinet photos and cartes de visite which I would love to identify. As well as the studio name (mostly in & around Chester), more than half have the catalogue number in pencil on the back to allow for reprints. It is frustrating to have this catalogue information but not to be able to do anything with it. Is that just how things are?

Thanks Jim, and yes they aren't they - The boy in his suit etc. Assuming the date is right, they are Elizabeth Ledsham (1870-1933) and children, living in Middlesex at the time with husband William Humfrey.

Hi, I am trying to work out when this photo was taken. I want to ID the people for the family tree I am building. I think I know who they all are, which would mean that this was taken in about 1910 in the UK. Does that date sound about right, judging from the outfits, hair etc, or would it be later? It's a loose photo, not on card. No markings on the back. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
