Sharing my favorite images from the early days of photography...

Title: Arrangement of Specimens

Date: ca. 1842

Photographer: Hippolyte Bayard (1801-1887)

Process: cyanotype

Note: An early inventor of photography with three processes under his belt, Bayard produced direct positive paper prints as early as 1839. He presented the world's first public exhibition of photographs in June 1839.
