WEB ASSIGNMENT #2

1. The Daguerreostype was pretty much the first successful photo process. A deal breaker. The surface resembles a mirror with its silver shine. The photographic process this was replaced with kindly, was the Ambrotype process.

2.) An albumen print was the first successful and popular method of producing aphotographic print on a base from a negative. The special ingredient they used was found in egg whites. This process died out in the mid 19th century when people invented new and better things.

                   

3.) Labeled on wikipedia as "Stereoscopy", a certain stereograph technique was used to hold the purpose of creating depth, or a 3D illusion. I believe this effect was popular in the 1860's. 

4.) Now, a carte de visite is essentially a cute little photograph used for sharing and/or mailing. I read that it was an over night sensation and got super popular, super fast.

                                   

5.) Back in 1856, a Scottish man named Alexander Gardner emigrated here in America, using photographer as his prized profession. He is known for his photos of the Civil War. Another who was known for pictures of the Civil War was a man whom influenced Alex, Mr. Mathew Brady. Both were around and taking pictures during the 19th century.
