The initials A.R. appear on microscope slides from the mid 1850s and in the Summer 2007 issue of "Micro Miscellanea" ("Initials on microphotographs – thoughts on AR", no. 66, pages 20-29) Stanley Warren proposed an excellent argument that A.R. was Alfred Reeves. Alfred Reeves was able to copy painting onto microscope slides and managed to place all eighty five portraits of the "Kings & Queens of England, From the Conquest to Queen Victoria" on a single slide.
An account of the life of Alfred Reeves will be found at http://microscopist.net/.
