Historical Note
Photography was brought to
An Englishman, Frederick Scott
Archer, in 1851 "developed a method of using a light-sensitive collodion emulsion as the medium for creating a negative
image. When the negative was formed upon
a glass plate and backed by a dark ground, the image appeared positive. This unique photograph was called an ambrotype.
When the negative was formed on a thin iron sheet, which had been
japanned black or dark brown, it was called a ferrotype or tintype. This was also a unique image. Photographs upon glass or common sheet metal
were much cheaper to produce than daguerreotypes, which required more precious
metals as well as hours of preparation.
But the most important use of the collodion
process was for the production of glass negatives from which many paper
positives could be made, thus introducing a means of rapid production of
inexpensive multiple prints" (p. 5).
"If
"The war created a
shift from an emphasis on leisurely portrait making to a fast turnout of
inexpensive images such as the tintype and carte-de-visite,
which recorded the faces of the young soldiers and their families as well as
the generals of opposing armies. The carte-de-visite was a small paper photograph, usually 2½ by 4
inches, which was mounted on a card about the size of a visiting card. It was a French invention, patented in
1854. Works of this type were mailed by
the thousands to loved ones, who placed them in albums as cherished mementoes
or popular souvenirs. The war also
contributed to the expanson of the photographer's
interests and to commissions beyond the portrait." Several
During its first quarter-century,

"In 1869 several important
changes occurred. A method for
retouching the negative rather than the finished print revolutionized the
portrait business; the opening of the American West by the railroad companies
stimulated an interest in landscape photography and boosted the stereo trade
card. In 1871 a radical change was made
by a British physician, Richard L. Maddox, who took the first steps in the
development of a gelatin-based negative, which would eventually lead to the
production of cameras for the millions.
Photography was then taken out of the exclusive domain of the
professional operator, who offered traditional and formal images, and was put
into the hands of the amateur who used the camera for personal expression"
