Daguerreotype — Widely used from 1839 to

1855, the daguerreotype was the first

popular form of photography. Images were

captured directly on a thin piece of silver-

plated copper. Because no negative was

produced, copies could not be made, so each

image was unique. Daguerreotypes are often

characterized by their reflective quality, a

darkening at the edges, and a dark blue-gray

or brown-black color.

Albumen — Widely used from 1855 to the

1890s, this inexpensive photographic method

produced paper-based photos. Negatives

were captured on glass, and the print was

then created on paper that used albumen

from egg whites to bind the light-sensitive

chemicals to the paper. Albumen photos are

often characterized by their glossy finish, and

soft, warm, brown tones.

Cyanotype — Invented in 1841, this simple,

inexpensive photographic method became

popular from the late 19th century to the

early 20th century. The images are created

when ultraviolet light converts the light-

sensitive chemicals on the paper to Prussian

blue. Cyanotypes are characterized by their

brilliant blue color. Although this process did

not lend itself to portrait photography, the

permanence of the images made them

popular for scientific and engineering

purposes. For example, this method was used

for creating blueprints.
