History Talk: Analyzing Historic Photographs

February 28 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Free

What are the differences between a daguerreotype, an ambrotype, and a tintype? Park Historian and Curator Nick Sacco will explore a variety of historic photos from both the
park’s collection and his own. He will explain the technology of photography and how it evolved during the19th century and how photographic technology combined with the
subject can help historians to date the image. Visitors are encouraged to bring a historic photo of their own to include in the discussion.

The program is free. Call 314-842-1867 ext. 230 for reservations
