Fascinating. Bertie looks fairly slim and handsome. Not at all the corpulent king Edward VII of the early 1900s (nicknamed "tum tum").

Great

What about the oldest Daguerreotypes of the State of Texas from the 1840s - 1850s of buildings, structures, towns, persons, and animals right before the American Civil War?

I would recommend getting Lawrence Jones' Lens on the Texas Frontier book. There is not enough antebellum Texas material online for me to use to make a video.

@Chubachus well I did, in fact, see some randomly on Google it took a lot of research guessing.
