Cornelia Van Ness Roosevelt ca. 1857 Mathew B. Brady American Brady was never much engaged in the manipulation of plates and chemicals, preferring to use the assistance of skilled operators for the mechanical aspects of the process while he, as the artist of the studio, occupied himself with the selection of lenses and cameras, the arrangement of the picture, the physical and psychological comfort of his sitters, and the promotion of his business. For expertise with wet plates Brady relied on Alexander Gardner, an experienced publisher, businessman, and photographer from Glasgow who emigrated to the United States in 1856. Gardner began working for Brady the same year. Two years later he was placed at the helm of the newly established Brady studio in Washington, D.C. The introduction of glass negatives was important to Brady's business because they offered the possibility of limitless prints from a single sitting. In addition, the process allowed for the enlarging of negatives to yiel

Miss Macrae of Inverinate, Wife of Horatio Ross ca. 1858 Horatio Ross British, Scottish Far better known in his day as an athlete and a sportsman than as a photographer, Ross excelled in deerstalking and was judged the finest shot in Scotland. Keen on the challenge of pitting his knowledge, stamina, and experience against the deer's superior senses of smell, sight, and hearing, Ross brought to his sport an intimate knowledge of the terrain, a practiced ability to judge distance, and an exceptional attentiveness in observation-just the qualities needed when he took to the Highland countryside with a camera in place of his rifle..

Portrait of a woman. James Charles Smallcombe, photographer (British, about 1822 - 1893) about 1860-1869 This photograph sits in an album that intermixes pages of cartes-de-visite with full-page photocollages. Victorian collagists took their photographic materials primarily from cartes-de-visite. Patented by André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854, the carte-de-visite was easily and inexpensively printed (84.XD.1157.2179). By the 1860s, _cartomania _had taken hold. It became customary to exchange cartes-de-visite on social calls. These small studio portraits measure 3 ½ x 2 1/8 inches, about the size of a playing card. It is not known whether they removed the photographs from the thick cardstock on which they had been mounted or obtained unmounted prints from the photographer. People also collected cards of the royal family, actors, and politicians (see for example, the image of Princess Christina of the United Kingdom found in this album). A womans collection of cartes-de-visite visually
