1855 LONDON [& Edinburgh] GAZETTE
NOTES: Searches were made on key words such as “daguerreotype” etc.; “photographer”/“photographic”, etc.; “stereoscope” etc. Occasionally the search engine missed entries which were found only by chance. Thus this should not be considered a complete listing of all photography-related entries. With patents I could not always tell if a name listed was a patent agent or the inventor. When unclear no entry was made.
