Photography Archive's photostream

The History of Photography Archive is a privately owned collection of original 19th and 20th century photographs and related artifacts that traces the technical and artistic development of photography and photo-mechanical printing from their origins in England and France in the early 19th century up through worldwide use in the mid-20th century. We have tried to identify important milestones in this fascinating history and then acquire original images, literature and equipment which illustrate these events. This is not a fine art collection - there are few masterpieces here of the kind sought by fine art photography collectors - but rather a "study collection" designed to represent important developments and the innovators who made them.
Be sure to view our Collections and Sets - they'll provide an historical context to the wide variety of images in this collection
The study of the history of photography is still evolving and so is this collection. We welcome your comments, corrections and suggestions.
Many images from The History of Photography Archive are available for reproduction in books, magazines, calendars, films, museum exhibitions and other uses. For information, visit: THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE web site.
