The Busy Work We Must Accomplish for Photo

1.
Daguerrotype photography is a picture taken on silvered copper plates. The surface of a daguerrotype represents the kind of photo paper we have today and were the direct replacement of camera obscures.

2.
Albumen print is also known as silver print. It consists of a piece of paper, usually 100% cotton, 
>is coated with an emulsion of egg white and salt  
>then dried. 
>The albumen seals the paper and creates a slightly glossy surface for the sensitizer to rest on.
This process died out around the 21st century. 

3.
Stereographic Projection is geometry. It projects a picture in a sphere in the complete shape, requiring two cameras to take in the full 3-D effect. While it became wildly popular in the 1950's, it died down in 1980 because point and shoot cameras became the new and improved picture taking. 
4.   
Carte de visite is print on thin paper glued to a really thick piece of paper. They were used for photographs of people.   

5. Matthew Brady and Alexander Gardner were two photographers who were active and document most of the Civil War. They took photos of the truth in the form of Daguerrotype photography.
