Description:

Some of the earliest American landscape images of the White Mountains of New Hampshire were made in the 1840's, within a year of Daguerre's announcement of his image-making process. The daguerreotype was popular in the 1850's, but had a limited future because daguerreotypes could not be duplicated readily. Stereography proved popular as tourism increased in the 1860's and 1870's. Edward and Ben Kilburn of Littleton produced more than two thousand stereographic views of northern New Hampshire. The biggest advance came with George Eastman's development of the first effective roll-film system in 1884.
