- This great video of making a daguerreotype makes you wonder how they did it 160 yrs ago! http://t.co/1dNZz3pD HT @Old_Photos #
- That makes 10p doesn't it? "Eight young men with Penny-Farthing bicycles" http://t.co/mGdKmJx8 #

- @NPGLondon has 14 pics of Florence Nightingale but CdVs dated to 1850s? Even if published later dates don't look right http://t.co/ipa4GSHM #
- @PhotoHistorian if only I had £1,245 to spare! Actually I think that's a very good price for a piece of that quality http://t.co/wXTfmqPW in reply to PhotoHistorian #
- @PhotoHistorian that eBay seller has some amazing stuff. Go to completed listings and sort by descending price. Where do they find it all?! in reply to PhotoHistorian #
- Could this sailing ship be Japanese, or Chinese, or something else? http://t.co/zNTToqRQ #

- @clarteCWlunaire I know what you mean, and I'd love to create a daguerreotype of my own, but I think for now I'll stick with my Nikons! in reply to clarteCWlunaire #
- 3 views away from 1,000, which would be £50 each to Movember and Macmillan "Wonderful 1907 moustaches" http://t.co/VPZBD5Gz #
- So true! RT @greglandgraf Daguerreotypes are much higher-res than modern cameras. Also more likely to kill their makers http://t.co/5yYavPQg #
- Mother & daughter, but it could be a mirror image (daguerreotype pun intended!) http://t.co/NUTnuOhx #
- Another brilliant Flickr identification – Japanese Komuso (虚無僧), monks playing their shakuhachi flutes, early http://t.co/c6YqZ0Ga #
