This is for daguerreotypes bearing the mark BEARD PATENTEE but that are not known to have definitely been produced in one of Richard Beard's own studios. In other words, these plates may be by Beard licence holders. Plates where the name of the license holder is known will be listed under the photographer's name and not here.
