I never knew there were so many different techniques that were used 'back in the day' for photography. I knew that the processes took a substantial amount of time, including taking the actual photograph. It could take over 15 minutes to take a photograph- of course people didn't smile!
Recently in my digital media class I attended a lecture about older photography. One of the first few interesting things that was shown was a Stereopticum, which is basically like the first generation of a viewfinder.
Tin types were often made because they were much more affordable. Victorians also kept photo albums.
Photo conservation was and still is very important, older photographs were easily damaged because of chemicals or a change in the dye.
I did not know that photo manipulation was possible During the early 20th century! It was very interesting to see examples of this.
