--Photographies of the Crystal Palace [by Mayall]

1851 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. In most cases a search of patents provided an answer, but when unclear, no entry was made. Many references to prizes in the Great Exhibition have been included, but as they were repeated in the Edinburgh Gazette, and there were so many, not all have been included here as information is not unique. All names were added to the index of names, and in most cases a search was made to provide dates, usually using PhotoLondon and/or Ancestry.

1851 TIMES

ver. 11/14/2020

NOTES:

--Data has been gathered online using various word searches in the Times, which is somewhat hit-and-miss. Sometimes relevant entries were missed with that search but found through other searches. Thus one cannot rely on the Times word searches for complete accuracy. There are likely to be inadvertent omissions.

--Data has been organized by name or company title. This is easier to research given multiple ads.

~Names:

--When incomplete name published and full name is known, it has been

provided in brackets. Names in ALL CAPS. are in the

photography business; those w/o caps are not photographers and

their names might not have been indexed (e.g. if they were just

selling a camera but not in the business).

--When I searched avail. City and business directories, London

Photographers A-Z, and Ancestry.com, and did not find full

names, “[?]” has been noted. If unknown or several poss.

candidates, no data has been provided.

--Names in want ads were sometimes pseudonyms. They may, or may not

have been entered. My judgement.

--Initials only listed. When poss. these have been searched. If still

unidentifiable, they are listed under “Initials Only” section

--Occupations. Opticians, jewelers, publishers, framers, stationers, etc.

were also involved in the photographic business. When someone

is known to have a different occupation, that is noted. When

likely not a photographer but occupation cannot be ascertained,

“nog” = “no occupation given” is used. Non-photographers who

were merely advertising to sell or buy photographic items have

normally not been indexed in the master list of names.

~Anonymous entries: These ads usually have addresses. Until they can be linked

to a specific photographer or company, they are entered as anonymous.

The London Post Office Directory for 1856 (earlier one is 1851) has been

useful as organized by streets with building numbers and names as well as

business directory. If a match could be made, it was referenced under the

“Names” section; if only possible matches, then entry remains under

anonymous with suggestion.

--Addresses are in London or Middlesex unless noted.

--Dates for ads are rendered as month/day/, i.e. “(1/3) = “Jan. 3”. Many ads ran for long

periods of time. Only the first date an ad was located has been entered. This may

not be the first true entry, only the first found.

--Page numbers added only for articles, not for ads given their high volume. Page #s can

frequently be located doing an on-line search.

--Indexer’s discretion has been used in selecting which ads to index. Want ads for

equipment, studios, etc. normally entered only when they can be associated with

a specific person or relevant address. Indexer’s prerogative. Erred on data

capture side.

--TANGENTIAL information: Added AFTER name/title entries. Activities, people,

etc. who were popular were frequently photographed or referenced. Knowing the

popularity of a subject helps to date images. Dates entered only when potentially

relevant, otherwise general trend of a year is enough. Not all sections have

entries. Subdivisions are:

--NEWS STORIES

--PHOTOGRAPHY RELATED

--THEATER & ENTERTAINMENTS
