I just read a very illuminating article by Ron Field regarding the history and practices of military camp photographers. Although I am quite familiar with the variety of photographic processes that evolved from the mid 1860’s through the late 20th century, this is one of the first articles I have found that explores the lives of travelling photographers in detail. It makes for a fascinating read, and I highly recommend it.
