This site will provide the essential clues to dating Victorian and Edwardian Photographs. The examples used will mostly be from the United Kingdom, but the general trends will apply worldwide. This site will be heavily populated with photographs. I welcome your contributions in the form of lists of photographers with dates - usually worked up from trade directories or single photographs with an original date written on it - from any country to add to this site.

Please do not send your family photos to be posted here
- unless you have some well dated examples
- please ask before sending.

If you email me please mention 'RootsWeb' in the subject line
