eBay
I had a look, out of curiosity, to see if there had been any bids on the
German eBay site for this Daguerreotype, but unfortunately, I was not able to
find it.
Perhaps the auction has ended, or perhaps I was looking in the wrong place.
UPDATE: I've now found it. See

John Peat
There was an amateur photographer in Edinburgh named John Peat active in
the mid-1860s. Might he have been the man in the Ross & Thomson
Daguerreotype?
All I know about him is that:
- He gave four talks to Edinburgh Photographic Society in 1865-66.
- He entered work in the Photographic Society of Scotland Exhibition
in 1865.
