Irish Photographic Studios 1860s - 70s.

I have 3 Irish CDV's created by 2 photographic studios in the 19th C. I know roughly when the images were taken and the names of the ancestors who are featured on the images. The family name is Nixon.

I am curious about the studios and whether or not any records might remain that may shed further ''light'' on these images. ie company registers, negative lists etc and maybe even original negatives but that's a long shot !

The studios are Lauder Bros of Kingstown at 83 Lower Georges St (2 images from the 1870s) with probable negative numbers 9642 and 1172. I have dated one image quite precisely using UK military records.

The 3rd image is from Julyan and Ahlfred of 78 Grafton St Dublin. No negative number is present but probably created in the 1860s.

 Are there any records surviving for these companies ?

I would say that the second one is 1860s and the third one 1870s. it is always a good idea to post the backs too if you have the originals.
You won't find any records or negatives for these early photos.

Carol - many thanks for your response. I had some fun loading up the images so the backs were not posted.

You might want to check places like the National Archives, Dublin to see if the studio's order book has been placed in their archives.
