This unidentified man's vignette was preserved by the Sharman family of Norfolk and bought in April 2024 from an eBay trader in Wymondham. The year 1861 is consistent with a similar example pictured in the Dating Guide compiled by Robert Pols from Claire Dulanty's data: Type 2, which was still being used in September 1863. John Robert Sawyer then moved to a new studio at 46 London Street (Norfolk Chronicle 12 & 19 September front pages).
No negative number is apparent but it would almost certainly be below 4000, judging from the table of negatives published by J. R. Sawyer in 1866. His front-page advertisement of the Drawing Room Portrait Gallery in the Norwich Mercury on 25 June 1862 specifies the quantities of cartes de visite printed and sent out, demonstrating the rise of cartomania during the first five months of that year (perhaps commensurate with a seasonal improvement in the weather and the hours of daylight):
January: 1,300*
February: 1,600
March: 1,886
April: 2,106
May: 2,212
* "In Sawyer's Drawing-room Portrait Gallery there were taken, from the 4th of January to the 31st January, 137 Negatives, the orders from which amounted to 1200 Portraits." (Norfolk Chronicle 8 February 1862 p. 8)
Surgical instrument manufacturer, cutler and electro-plater J. R. Sawyer was at 42 London Street as early as 1853 (Norfolk News 16 April p. 2). In 1867 he referred to his 14 years' experience in connection with the continuing popularity of cartes de visite (Norfolk News 20 April p. 4).
Advertisements in 1854 (e.g. Norfolk Chronicle 4 November p. 1) locate his studio opposite a tobacconist named Miller — probably Amelia, who was then at 5 London Street (White's 1854 Norfolk gazetteer p. 257). His instruments, cutlery and spectacles are all mentioned in the Norfolk Chronicle on 8 October 1853 (p. 3) along with recent improvements in photography:
"J. R. SAWYER has fitted up a Gallery for the production of faithful & artistic PORTRAITS on a new principle, avoiding altogether the harsh and unpleasing effects of the daguerreotype process. The sitter being placed in a diffused natural light, that painful expression of feature which too often characterises the old process, is entirely avoided, the face falls into its habitual appearance, and the result is a striking and expressive likeness."
The itinerant daguerreotypist Oliver François Xavier Sarony brought his wagons to Norwich in 1856 and also rented a showroom at 42 London Street, as noted by Robert Pols (Sarony versus Sawyer) and by Michael Shingfield (Norwich Victorian Photographers, 2017, p. 107) whose book devotes two pages to Oliver Sarony and several more to John Sawyer and his successors.

Heather, i hope you don't mind being my example. This was a photo that I remembered had been silhouette (which, granted, is cool)...but I also remembered playing with it in photoshop and finding I could pull a lot more information from the neg than was showing up. When I scanned this one myself, look how much more of her face you can see.
I promise I won't keep going on and on about it. Just, it feels weird knowing that someone else has had some control over my photos...kind of crazy.
I should also mention, as of right now I am not doing anything to these pictures other than scanning..no color enhancement or anything.

East 30th Street looking South. The line of voters stretched from the Board of Elections building at Euclid and East 30th, all the way down East 30th to Chester, back to Euclid, and up Euclid.
A good example of a faux ami in language. There was a church to St Mary's on the Tyburn (Tiw's bourne) brook, which flowed through where Marble Arch now is - the hanging place - supporting a congregation from a village of a few dozen people. It was known simply as St Mary's on the Bourne, and, eventually, by the Francophone Norman aristocracy, as Marie sur le bourne. Which in turn was influenced by "Marie la bonne" into the current name.
It is the newest of the London termini, built in 1899 to link London to Nottingham and Sheffield. Now it's the terminus for the rattler from sunny Brum. It is lucky to exist, indeed, it probably owes its survival to the crippling property prices in London. In 1984 British Rail went so far as to post up notices for its closure, but enough commuters moved out to Aylesbury (which decanted City workers at Marylebone) to make it economically viable.
As it was a backwater for London stations, film companies found it convenient, and The Beatles filmed part of A Hard Day's Night there. Apple Corps had its HQ in Marylebone district - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
