Scholarship on photography's earliest years has tended to focus on
daguerreotypes on metal or on the European development of paper
photographs made from glass or paper negative. But Americans also
experimented with negative-positive processes to produce
photographic images on a variety of paper formats in the early
decades of the medium. "Paper Promises: Early American Photography"
presents this rarely studied topic within photographic history. The
well-researched and richly detailed texts in this book delve into
the complexities of early paper photography in the United States
from the 1840s to 1860s, bringing to light a little-known era of
American photographic appropriation and adaptation. Exploring the
economic, political, intellectual, and social factors that impacted
its unique evolution, both the essays and the carefully selected
images illustrate the importance of photographic reproduction in
shaping and circulating perceptions of America and its people
during a critical period of political tension and territorial
expansion. Due to the fragility of paper photography from this
period, the works in this catalogue are rarely displayed, making
the volume an essential tool for any scholar in the field and a
very rare peek into the mid-nineteenth century.
