Many Dags were also taken in the 1850s, but we can not yet destinguish them from those taken in the 40s. We also see Ambrotype taken in the 1850s. Thesewe know were not takem in thev 1840s, butbsome were takedn in the rarly-60s. We see a few tin-types in the 50s. Tin-types are very difficult to date. We have found very few examples of capes from the 50s. We are not sure how to interpret this. It may be that capes were not very common. But it may also be that while the early photographic types (Dags and Ambros) give us many more images than ever before, especially in America. But they pale in comparison to what was go come in the 1869s with the albumen process (CDVs and cabinet cards). While we do not have any Dags showing boys wearing capes, we have found one Anbro. The boys is wearing the Oliver Twist-type peaked military cap complete with tassel. The dark colors involved, however, make it difficult to make out much detail.
