Photographic History

As part of my PhD studies I have been collating images of photographic manufacturing and retail premises and a selection of these are below. I am keen to locating information about British photographic companies: camera makers, plate and film makers, and photographic retailers.

I have also amassed a large amount of data about British photographic companies from 1839 and I am happy to answer questions about these.

If you have any images of photographic premises from 1839 please get in touch.
