Thanks to French painter and dioramist Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1787-1851) and the daguerreotype and to Englishman, mathematician, and chemist William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) and his calotype and paper negative we were freed to look at the world, and ourselves, in new ways.
The Collection has many photographic techniques, such as: bromoil, paper negative, Fresson, calotype, multi-toning, metal-chrome, and montage, with outstanding examples represented.
These include the early daguerrotype (a negative image on metal) and calotype (on paper).
