American History Photography

What would it be like without a camera or photographs? There will be no memory's at all. There is always a story behind the pictures. Camera's was not invented until the 19th century, the two basic elements of a camera had been well known for hundreds of years. Photography took many twists and turns as people experimented with chemicals to make the image capturing more practical. As the rage for Daguerrotype reigned, the discovery was being made that latent images in reverse color were revealed to be present after only short exposures. These paper negatives could then be washed, chemically treated and used to make positive paper prints.
