Alfred Reeves, Her Majesty Queen Victoria in the State Robes,

+/- 1860, UK,
Information label,
Microphotograph (wet collodion), Very Good,
Original mounting,
2,5  X  7,5 cm 






The introduction of commercial microphotography in the mid-1800s caused quite a stir among the public. While JB Dancer is credited with the invention and is now undoubtedly the most famous producer of early microphotographs, numerous other photographers quickly took up production of miniscule photographs designed for viewing through a microscope. One of these was Alfred Reeves, better known to many antique slide collectors by his initials, &quot;A.R.&quot;.

J. B. Dancer (attr.), &amp;pound;1000 bank note,

1868, UK,
Titled,
Microphotograph (wet collodion), Very Good,
Original mounting,
2,5  X  7,5 cm 






Beginning around 1853, the first of the J. B. Dancer (inventor of the process) Miniature Photograph Slides became available, growing to a numbered series of several hundred images over the next twenty years or so. They featured photographic images of famous people, art works, buildings, geographic landmarks, etc. Eventually, other individuals, as well as Dancer, produced and sold these popular types of slides with tiny photographs that were only visible with the aid of the microscope. They remained popular on into the 1890s when interest in them waned, and production ceased. Source: http://www.victorianmicroscopeslides.com
