Flashcards
Daguerreotype
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
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)
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.
