Our passion is early photography!! We love sharing old photographs from all around the world with our viewers. Some of these are rare photographs, some are interesting photographs, some are historically important photographs. We specialize in stereoview / daguerreotypes / ambrotypes / cdvs / cabinet cards / tintypes.
Stereoviews, or stereographs, are 19th and early 20th-century photo cards featuring two nearly identical images placed side-by-side. When viewed through a stereoscope (a handheld or table viewer), these two images merge into a single, three-dimensional (3D) image, offering a sense of depth and immersion that was immensely popular before the advent of television.
A daguerreotype, introduced in 1839 by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, is the first publicly announced, widely adopted photographic process.
A tintype, or ferrotype, is a vintage photographic process from the 1850s that creates a one-of-a-kind, direct positive image on a thin, lacquer-coated metal plate.
