Daugerreotypes in Scotland, as in England. are relatively rare. In fact as Scotland had a much smaller population than England and was not asaffluent, Scottish Dags and other early formats are even more rate than in England. e nelieve that copyright laws in Britain and other Europeans countries restricted the growth of a photographic industry at a time it was booming in America. This changed dramatically with the appearance of CDVs. We begin to see large numbers of CDVs (1860s). Soon after we see the larger cabinet cards. We assume that the dates and the mounts are basically the same as in England, but there may have been some differences. Our assessment is limited by the fact tht we have so few dated Scottish photographs. Thus we are only beginning our assssment of Scottish photography. And like England, the CDV persisted much longer in Scotland than was the case of the United States. We see new cabinet card styles around the turn of the 20th century, but do not yet have the precise dates.

Photogrphy in Scotland as in other countries changed dramatically with the appearance of the CDV. The CDV was an albumen process which used negstives. Prints were produced on chemically treated paper. The albumen process was much less expensive and multiple copies could be purchased to send to families and friends. Suddenly we begin to see huge numbers of Scottish images for the first time as CDVs became popular (1860s). The CDV appeared earlier in Franbce, but it was not until about 1860 that we begin to see substantil numbers in Britain. This also expanded the social class mix of the photograohic record. Soon after we see the larger cabinet cards. We assume that the dates and the mounts are basically the same as in England, but there may have been some differences. Our assessment is limited by the fact that we have so few dated Scottish photographs. Thus we are only beginning our assssment of Scottish photography. And like England, the CDV persisted much longer in Scotland than was the case of the United States. We see new cabinet card styles around the turn of the 20th century, but do not yet have the precise dates or many Scottish examples. Stereoscope cards were also mistly albumen prints, but we have not yet found Scottish examples.
