Victorian Photographs - Carte-de-visite
The Roger Vaughan Personal Collection
The latest additions to my collection of Victorian & Edwardian
Photographs, History Pages, Prints, Paintings and Picture Library.
I am not now actively adding to this site. I no longer provide images
for reproduction, nor can I answer detailed enquiries about photographs
- I will try to keep the site going for you to enjoy, and maybe add to
it sometimes - The site may reopen as a picture library in 2009.
However I am still here! Roger

After several awful operations on my eyes recently, my sight is now settling down again. I would appreciate having fewer difficult emails to answer with at this time - thanks.

No changes to the sites but all of them are still working ...thanks for visiting.

All the sites still up and running. If you like this site I suggest
that you bookmark my Rootsweb site, as that should survive any future
changes. Date a Photo at Rootsweb
