Unknown Microphotograph Maker
"Green Labels, No Name, Gothic"

by Brian Stevenson
last updated December, 2024

This unidentified microphotograph slide-makers used dark green labels, but did not provide a name or initials. The slides are not numbered.

The labels are bordered with wavy lines, and the text is gothic. The squiggly lines are similar to those on the labels of J.B. Dancer and several other microphotographers. The font is similar to that appearing on microphotograph slides that were sold by Joseph Solomon and Henry West, whose biographies can be read elsewhere on this site.

The image "Father Thames" is from a cartoon published during 1859 in Punch.

This maker’s slides are rather uncommon. Known examples are shown below, the images of which were generously provided by collectors or adapted from internet sale sites. Any clues about the maker’s identity, or other examples of the microphotograph’s work, will be greatly appreciated.
