Photographs of 1800s Madeira Bottles

[Ron Smith]

Hello,

I am an author living in Atlanta, Georgia. I am a fan of Port and Madeira, although most of my knowledge centers on craft beer. I am the co-author of Atlanta Beer: A Heady History of Brewing in the Hub of the South. I am currently working on a book about prohibition in the Atlanta area. At one point in my current work, the manuscript mentions the historic popularity of Madeira in Georgia. I am currently planning on using a photo of a contemporary bottle of Madeira in the book.

However, I would love to use a photo of old Madeira bottles. Specifically a photograph of Madeira bottles from the mid to late 1800s. Can anyone direct me to a person that has personally taken photos of these bottles, so I might gain permission to use his/her photograph?

I will fully credit the photographer / bottle owner in the work.

Many thanks and cheers!

Hi Ron,

drop me a line so we could get in touch.

Have a few older bottles that could be interesting, with no financial interest to sell a pic or two.

Have you tried looking on the photo album on the main webpage?

That would have been a next step. You guys are very friendly and helpful, I didn't even make it that far before someone offered help. I'm learning a lot just interacting with you guys. Thanks and Cheers!
