Flashcards

Daguerreotype

An early photographic process, where a silver halide emulsion was coated onto a glass plate, creating a positive image. It was popular for portraits in the mid-19th century.

Calotype

A photographic process that utilized a paper negative, resulting in a positive print. It was known for its soft, detailed images and was popular in the early days of photography.

Collodion (wet-plate)

A process that uses a light-sensitive emulsion coated on a glass plate to create a negative image. It was a crucial development in photography, allowing for multiple prints from one negative.

Celluloid / Nitrate film

The first commercially successful roll film, made from a transparent, flexible material. It made photography more accessible and portable, revolutionizing the way images were captured.
