About The Author

Supplement:

Updated in 2024!

This supplement remains as a work in progress. It is the compendium of only those nineteenth century photographic cases which I have deemed worthy of recording and which I have seen since 2016 when the third edition of my book Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames was published.

Undoubtedly more items will surface in the future but the rate at which this is happening has slowed to less than a trickle. Certainly, it would have been better and more convenient for the user had I integrated them into the third edition. Such would have required revising the total page layout of that text, a tremendous task of time, energy and expense. The resulting volume would be close to eight hundred pages and cost of production would render the final product cost prohibitive to the buyer. Also, there would be little demand for it especially from those who already have the last edition. Perhaps in the future the original work can be divided into two volumes with the supplementary material included in the appropriate page location. All references to the 3rd edition refer to that printing of Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames.

Suit for Prom
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
My son (17) ordered this suit to wear to Prom (2 weeks before) and it was a hit! Great Quality and great fit! He even convinced a few of his friends to buy their suits here too! Would purchase again for sure!

This is a terrific purchase.
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
Amazing for the price. It’s a wonderful suit fit just right for a 5’10”. 145 pound male. The quality is surprisingly wonderful for this suit and the color is accurate. As in the picture it is a slim fit and accentuates his figure. I would highly recommend this for a purchase. (be sure to use the measurements on their description before ordering). After a steam and a press we were ready to go. The packaging was very nicely done also.

Perfect fit.
Size: Large, Color: Dark Gray
I’m 5’9”, about 180 lbs. I got an L based on the Amazon recommendation. The size chart showed the pants being a 36” which is big for me but it’s those that stretch so if you’re a 34” like me, it’ll fit perfectly. No alterations needed for me. Great fit, good looking suit, nice material. I immediately bought another and hope it fits as good as this one. Genuinely impressed.
