Title: Natural magic
Description: The salted paper print process and the daguerrotype were invented, for all practical purposes, simultaneously. Though using different materials and methods (the salted paper print was patented, while daguerreotype was not) still both achieved the miracle of fixing an image from life within a substrate - in other words, they ushered in the medium of photography. This volume offers new views on the use and employment of the salted paper print in North America. The hope is that this publication will encourage investigation, for the history of photography has many areas of terra icognita yet to discover.
