Publisher's Synopsis
DAGUERREOTYPES TINTYPES AND AFRICAN AMERICANS. TAKES A LOOK AT THIS TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY AS RECORDED IN THE 1800'S. I HAVE TRIED TO GATHER AS MANY TINTYPES AND DAGUERREOTYPE IMAGES AS POSSIBLE. THIS TYPE OF PHOTOGRAPHY WAS VERY POPULAR IN THE EARLY 1800'S. THE PRICE WAS FAIRLY REASONABLE. IN THIS BOOK THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ORDER OR LAYOUT, I HAVE TRIED TO BRING YOU THE BEST IMAGES THAT I COULD DISCOVER. I PERSONALLY THINK THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IMAGES AROUND. THIS BOOK FOCUSES ON THE HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AS SEEN BY THE PHOTOGRAPHERS OF THE DAY. THERE ARE NO REAL WORDS FOR THE IMAGES. I THOUGHT THEY WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO CONVEY THE INFORMATION THAT WAS NEEDED TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND. THIS IS VOLUME # 1 IN A SERIES OF THREE. I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY THESE IMAGES AS MUCH AS I DO. YOU MUST ALSO PRAISE THE SKILLED CRAFTSMEN OF THE DAY. FOR THEIR WORK HAS SURVIVED AND WILL NOW ALWAYS SURVIVE. DIGITALLY THAT IS. UNTIL WE MEET IN THE NEXT ONE.
