Photography was a largey European and American innovation. Dome photographic studios were opebed in Mexicoafter the Frenchman Louis Daguerre invented modern photography--the Daguerreotype (1839). Early Mexican photographic types, both the Daguerreotype and the Ambrotype, however, are very rare. It was not until the French Intervention (1864–67) that any substantial numbers of photographs were produced. This primarily meant the CDV at first and then cabinet cards. There also were a few stereopspoic cards. An albumen process was nuch less expensive than Dags anand even Ambros. And because negtives were used, nukltiple copies could be made of the photograph. It was populattoi buy images of important figures like poliytical leasers od society luninaries. But with the CDV uou could take portraits if yoy=yrself and family nd send it to family and frinds. The CDV was another French innovation. Photography in the 19th century was mostly studio portraits, but the Mexico's poverty and small middle-class as in other Latin American countries limited the size of the resulting 19th century photographic record. The CDV abd czninert card while less exprnsive than Dags and Ambros, still was not cheap in a country where a lkarge part of the country was not in or barely in the moneied economy. We have so far acquired only a few 19th century Mexican prints.
