DescriptionThe appeal of collecting 19th century photography is often enhanced in obtaining items associated with the studios and photographers of the period . The photographs taken with multi-lens, wet collodion plate cameras are interesting and very rare finds, and although the subjects are rarely identified, the images compelling.
