Photography Volume 3 (Critical and Primary Sources)
Scholarship on photography's earliest years has tended to focus on daguerreotypes on metal or on the European development of paper photographs made from glass or paper negative.

"Paper Promises: Early American Photography" presents this rarely studied topic within photographic history. The well-researched and richly detailed texts in...
