Photographic Inventions During the 1850’s Tunny made claims that he was the inventor of both the collodion process and of the New Porcelain Process. This was disputed by William McCraw and James Ross, and resulted in a further long letter to the from Tunny. [PNo: No 22], [JPS:1857 p48], [JPS, 21/9/1857] [JPS 21/10/1857] |

John Nicol looks back John Nicol, one of the early members of EPS looking back, in 1879, on Thomas Davidson’s contribution to the early days of photography, referred to JG Tunny and his studio:
Thomas Davidson's LensThomas Davidson made camera lenses in Edinburgh from as early as 1840, so if John Nicol is correct in asserting that one of Davidson's early lenses was for Tunny, this suggests that Tunny may have taken an interest in photography at least a decade before he first appeared in the Edinburgh trade directories, listed as a photographer in 1852. |
