Take a walk through the history of photographic formats with Capitol Photo Archivist Jacob McCormick. Along the way learn how to identify and tell the difference between plate photo formats like daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes; also delve into albumen prints and the various nineteenth century paper prints. A lesson in dating photographs is included. The program is largely illustrated with Capitol-related photography.
