These include daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes (ferrotypes), cartes de visite, cabinet cards, stereoviews or stereograph cards, large format albumen prints, a poster composed of applied photographs, and “real photo” postcards.

Barnum's homes, Lindencroft, Waldemere, and Marina, with many interior views of the latter two homes.

Tom Thumb) as well as images of his wife, M. Lavinia Warren, her sister huldah "Minnie" Warren, and George Washington Morrison Nutt (Commodore Nutt). Show less
