  • Can any photo 'detectives' out there confirm if this is a police uniform? http://t.co/MZhu9TgW #
  • @JayneShrimpton Hi Jayne, can you confirm that this is late Victorian, rather than Edwardian? http://t.co/dz3Eunsv We think c. 1897 #
  • Happy New Year everyone – just 50 minutes of 2011 left here in London! 12 months ago @PhotosOfThePast wasn't even on Twitter. What fun had! #

  • @veela_valoom daguerreotype looks like a mirror, tintype usually dark. Other possibility is ambrotype. Happy to take a look … in reply to veela_valoom #
  • @veela_valoom yeap, that looks 99% like a tintype to me. Another test is to put a magnet on the back and see if it sticks. in reply to veela_valoom #
