- 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 #

- @PhotoHistorian whilst on the subject of Kilburn, did you see this lovely stereo daguerreotype and viewer case? #eBay http://t.co/wXTfmqPW in reply to PhotoHistorian #
- @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 #
- Mystified as to what these two musicians are up to in this Japanese street scene, early 1900s http://t.co/c6YqZ0Ga #
- @PhotoHistorian ah, he's a contact of mine, but I hadn't made the connection! Yes, fabulous collection http://t.co/X8TYneRt in reply to PhotoHistorian #

- Nice pants! RT @nyrbclassics: Honored to be responsible for today's Daguerreotype Boyfriend: http://t.co/dogTCaK4 Thanks @michellelegro! #

- Superb! "A lady's man. Taunt with a female companion on his Thames houseboat in about 1890" http://t.co/WE4mCrtM #
- English Heritage 'ViewFinder' collections appear to have nearly 13,000 Taunt images online – http://t.co/6zd5fje6 #
- Still on the theme of English heritage, hi to new follower @WolvesArchives and check their great website – http://t.co/x0hJLEvE #
- Great Halifax (UK) images RT @Historypin: Great streetviews in Halifax coming from jonny.durgan. See his profile here: http://t.co/OeRGiWgX #
- @Historypin Just a thought, would be nice feature to be able to filter a map view just to show one user's images, and have link from profile in reply to Historypin #
- Someone has just identified this lovely union case. Does anyone know of any online ID sources for cases? http://t.co/mWwnOqMh #
- @Historypin cool, look forward to seeing it. Any other gems that you're willing to make public? 😉 in reply to Historypin #
- @PhotosOfThePast and on the subject of union cases, anyone know where I can get a copy of Krainick & Krainick? http://t.co/jI3rZuMb in reply to PhotosOfThePast #

- @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 #
- This just goes to show you only need to put a mystery online, wait, and when the right person passes by it's solved! http://t.co/c6YqZ0Ga #
- A commercial site, but excellent presentation of a great range of vintage Japanese images – http://t.co/mOnE5I3i #
