Die Sammlung ist seit Ende der 1970er Jahre zusammengetragen worden. Im Vordergrund steht die Ästhetik der Aufnahmen und bei einem Teil der Sammlung eine thematische Ausrichtung auf Männer und Kinder mit Hüten. Die Sammlung wird nicht als abgeschlossen gesehen, sondern sie lebt durch An- wie auch Verkauf.

Mit Beard in London beginnt in Europa die Periode der daguerreschen Ateliers, sein Etablissement war das erste professionelle Fotostudio auf dem Kontinent (März 1841). Er hatte das Patent zum Daguerreotypieren in England und eröffnete in rascher Folge eine Zahl von Ateliers.
Address to the public. The public are respectfully informed that all the varieties of Photographic Miniature and Daguerreotype Portraits are taken at this Establishment with certainty every day; the weather being by no means so important as is generally believed, an ordinary clear day being ... and often be ...tter than a bright one, whe... light ma... too strong for persons with weak eyes. / The introduction of colouring has materially contributed to the perfection of the art-the Artist is enabled to give the tint of the complexion, and the colour of the drapery, with landscape or other backgrounds; thus rendering the pictures perfect as most beautiful miniatures; while for accuracy and cheapness t.. stand unrivalled. / The ...ense superiority of Daguerreotype miniatures ..er the old fashioned styles must be quite apparent to all who have examined them. In these portraits we see our friends as they are, without a vestage of tinselled flattery of bygone art, and true as the polished mirror would depict them. / Suggestions for Dress. / LADIES are informed that dark silks and satins are best for dresses, though checked, striped, or figured materials are also good, provided they be not too light. The ...to be avoided are white, light blue, and pink ..ls, scarfs, mantles, and all flowing drapery enha... the beauty of the picture; the only dark material unsuited is black velvet. / For GENTLEMEN, black, figured, check, plaid or other fancy vests are preferable to white. / For CHILDREN, plaid, striped, or figured dresses are good, provided they be not white, blue, or pink; hairdressed ...glets enhances the general effect. / Family gr...
