The only thing I love more than brass is waterhouse stops.
This the first I've seen of them like this.
!!!

I'm reading a book I got for the holiday on photo history.
Its a coffee table book. Quite large and lavishly printed. But very good
writing. And I don't mean the typeface. But that too.

The Origins of American Photography
>From Daguerreotype to Dry-Plate, 1839-1885: The Hallmark Photographic
Collection at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
Keith F. Davis; With contributions by Jane L. Aspinwall

Kansas City Rocks!

I'm learning all kinds of stuff. They've learned a lot in the past few
decades. The early photo histories are less then great anymore.
Obsolete!
