Wing's Multiplying View Camera, 1860-1880
- Simon Wing Wet Plate Holder, 1850-1880 - Wet plate photography was a primary photographic method until the invention of roll-film in the 1880s. Metal or glass plates were coated with light-sensitive collodion, placed into holders, and exposed in a camera. Before the plate dried, it was developed in a darkroom. Exacting and demanding, wet plate photography was the opposite of being a mobile, spontaneous, or user-friendly process.
