Photography 1860-1911
Between 1860 and 1911, photography underwent significant advancements, transforming from a complex and time-consuming process into a more accessible and widely used medium. In the 1860s, photography was still dominated by the wet plate collodion process, which required photographers to prepare and develop glass plates on-site. This method, though capable of producing high-quality images, was cumbersome and impractical for casual use. However, technological progress soon led to the dry plate process in the 1870s. Unlike wet plates, dry plates could be stored and used later, making photography more flexible and convenient. This innovation allowed for shorter exposure times, enabling photographers to capture motion more effectively.
The late 19th century saw further breakthroughs, particularly with the introduction of roll film by George Eastman in 1888. His invention of the Kodak camera revolutionized photography by making it available to amateurs. The Kodak camera came preloaded with film, which users could send to the company for development and reloading. This simple approach popularized photography beyond professionals and enthusiasts, allowing everyday people to document their lives. At the same time, improvements in printing techniques, such as the halftone process, enabled photographs to be reproduced in newspapers and books, expanding their impact on society.
By 1911, photography had evolved into an essential part of both art and documentation. Color photography was in its early experimental phase, with the Lumière brothers introducing the Autochrome process in 1907, offering the first commercially viable color photographs. Meanwhile, faster lenses and better camera designs improved image quality and ease of use. These advancements paved the way for photography to become an integral part of journalism, science, and personal expression. The period between 1860 and 1911 laid the foundation for modern photography, making it a powerful tool for capturing and sharing the world.
