Collector's Guide to Early Photographs (Collectors Guide Series)

"This book provides the proper focus to identifying, cataloging, and valuing cased images (daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes) and photographs on paper (calotypes, albumen prints, cartes de visite, cabinet cards, and stereographs). It also offers the historical and technical background for each technique, what images are sought by collectors, and keys to preserving and displaying these important social documents."--the publisher.
