One of my favorite albumins is of my great-grandmother and her sister on their college graduation day in 1895. They had matching dresses dripping in ruffles and lace, and they had to have been just roasting in them! (And naturally, as young ladies of fashion and breeding, they were tightlaced. My great-grandmother had an 18-inch waist when corseted.)<br /><br />Kodak published a seminal book on the subject of early photography entitled _Care and Identification of 19th Century Photographic Prints_. It's quite expensive because it's out of print, although authoritative on both identifcation and care of the various photographic media of the era.AiredaleGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342380256740406514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-38636061976388519402011-05-24T03:40:14.149-04:002011-05-24T03:40:14.149-04:00Thanks for the beautiful photos !!!Thanks for the beautiful photos !!!Bookhttp://www.bookingworld.ru/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-75266713649108659962011-05-23T02:08:33.252-04:002011-05-23T02:08:33.252-04:00No tintypes around here either, but some photos so...No tintypes around here either, but some photos so old and yellowed that they almost could be.
