File: J B Dancer and microphotography

Papers relating to a meeting in Manchester on 21 March 1960, at which Bowden presided, to celebrate J. B. Dancer (1812-1887), a Manchester photographer, considered to be the inventor of microphotography. The National Microfilm Association (USA) presented its Medal of Merit to Miss E C Wilkie, Dancer's great - granddaughter at this meeting. The file includes notes on Dancer's work, presumably used by Bowden in his address.
