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.

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.
~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.
