Ferrotypie-tent van de fotograaf c. 1880 - 1900

J.Q. Galusha’s "Ferrotypie-tent van de fotograaf" (c. 1880-1900) is a striking photographic documentation of a traveling photographer's setup. The image captures the photographer's tent, likely used as a makeshift studio, with a large banner proclaiming "Fotografer, Tent, Jocal, SHA." Inside, a man stands poised behind a camera on a tripod, while others, perhaps clients, await their portrait. This ferrotype, a popular format for 19th-century photography, offers a glimpse into the itinerant nature of early photography and the evolving role of the medium in documenting daily life. The image provides valuable insight into the early history of photography and its mobile practices.
