The Collection

The subjects represented in the collection are as diverse as the multitude of formats and processes within which they are formed. Examples range from the earliest photographic processes of the Daguerreotype and Salted Paper print or Calotype made during the late 1840s and 1850s through the Collodion, Albumen and Gelatin process advancements of the Victorian era. Interspersed with the most prevalent processes, are the many variant techniques conceived, adopted and abandoned throughout the growth and maturity of the medium leading to the present day.
