Argentine Photography: Formats--Silver Nitrate Snapshots



Figure 1.-- .

Other photographic trends with the turn-of-the 20th century also seem similar to Europe and America. Both studios and photography for amateur, snapshots were dominated by the silver nitrate process and the roll film developed by Kodak. This aal came together with the Kodak Brownie (1900). Thus we begin to see snapshots emerging from Argentina as in other countries after the turn-of-the 20th century. We note large numbers of family snapshots after the turn-of-the 20th century. Some photographers seem to have used paper more common with snapshots in America. Snapshots were printed in different sizes, shaps, margins, and edges. We have found more snapshots from Argentina than any other Latin American country. This seems to be combination of a a relativly large population and an economy that almost reached developed status. Prosperous countries are the countries most likely to have substntial photographic records.
