About Early Photography in the U.S.A.

This group focuses on antique photographs taken in the United States of America, or by American photographers travelling abroad, from the invention of photography to the end of World War One. The photographic production of the short-lived Confederate States of America (1861-1866) naturally pertains to this group.

A note regarding WWI items: all photos taken by American amateur or professional photographers in Europe during the war are fully adequate to the group, as they reflect the American perspective and photographic tradition.

Please consider visiting our twin groups:
- Early Photography in Austria-Hungary
