"One of the most popular areas today for genealogical research and photography collecting focuses on the African American experience, and now a new publication helps to make this easier and more rewarding. Introduction to African American Photographs, 1840-1950 is the first book ever published to focus exclusively on the identification, research, care and collecting of vintage African American photographs. Spanning from photography's beginnings with the daguerreotype of the early 1840s through the gelatin silver prints of the1950s, each major photographic format that has recorded African Americans, both free and slave, is presented to provide readers with the tools needed to accurately interpret black images. Useful resources for investigating the people in photographs are also discussed and numerous "In Focus" case studies are included which use actual photographs as models for conducting photography research. Helpful advice is also included concerning the proper care needed for each type of photograph as well. For those interested in collecting African American photographs, valuable tips are given that will help them evaluate the collectibility and value of images."
