- Hours of fun browsing to be had in the Harvard daguerreotype collection! http://t.co/KYBkFlDy #
- Great blog post on conserving your photos from @JayneShrimpton – we really do have no excuse now we've been told how! http://t.co/BjFwSszc #
- @PhotoHistorian ha, you're right there. My daguerreotype collection only extends to 4 so far though! http://t.co/XmW1MzkX (one not online) in reply to PhotoHistorian #

- Don't know your 1/6th plate from your Gem, Minette or Victoria Print? Use this handy photo sizing guide http://t.co/R6YLUhez #
- @JayneShrimpton I feel this needs your costume historian skills to help date her. Conflicting clues – http://t.co/ipgBRzHR #
- @PhotoHistorian I had heard through Michael Pritchard that there was a plan for RPS Historical Group to continue site – I will enquire in reply to PhotoHistorian #
- @PhotoHistorian the good news is back in Feb I took the liberty to use a tool to make an offline backup of the entire site, just in case! in reply to PhotoHistorian #
- @JayneShrimpton thanks Jayne. Looks like it has been re-cased then. Shame I didn't spot this when you were looking for British cased pics! in reply to JayneShrimpton #

- "The Colours of Another Age: The Rothschild Autochromes" – exhibition right on my doorstep and I didn't know! http://t.co/oY12c1ec #
- @JayneShrimpton union case couldn't be before 1853, but all other photographic clues here point to 1840s date http://t.co/ipgBRzHR in reply to JayneShrimpton #
- Useful, detailed study from http://t.co/gf39OOKJ of the history of miniature photographic cases – http://t.co/h6J2gbOo #
- @JayneShrimpton based on what you say it could even be early 1840s. It has no preserver, which http://t.co/Y4vZI7lz suggests as pre 1847 in reply to JayneShrimpton #
- Excellent! Another thing I've learnt today – MT @HalaasK: Did you know Promenade size portraits came when womens dresses got narrower?! 🙂 #
- @JayneShrimpton they say union case dates from 1856, a few years later than other sources http://t.co/Y4vZI7lz in reply to JayneShrimpton #
- @JayneShrimpton Of course, that info was US. I'll go with the reliability of Robert Pol's 1855 UK date for union cases. in reply to JayneShrimpton #
