The photo speaks for itself; I'll never complain about the weight of my camera and tripod again. (This is one of several early photos I received in an email, I don't know the origin)

The hair do is something else. I wonder if there is a picture, that she may have taken, of the other photographer somewhere.

Taking the picture was just the beginning. She had to go back to her darkroom, develop the film, make a contact print, figure out what to burn in or hold back and then print again. And she probably toned the print when done, mounted it, framed it and put it up somewhere.
And I forget to mention she had to mix her own chemicals and with every new batch of raw materials, film or paper, she would have to recalibrate everything.
How many digital photos do you think you can turn out in this time?

Thanks for posting --- seeing this makes me grateful for living in this era with all of the fine, lightweight gear that we enjoy!

The funny part, she was a candid photographer. That would explain the running stance she has. I bet her cloths weigh as much as the camera.

You could turn out thousands of digital photos but unfortunately most would be throw aways. There is something to be said for taking ones time to consider the subject and then compose the shot.

If you search the name "John Fornes & Company, Woolens" you'll find reference to him & company in Buffalo, NY around the 1850's. Doesn't give any clue as to whom the woman might be but dates her and the equipment. Very cool photo.

Her name is Jessie Tarbox. I received the same email which had her name under the picture.

but ... 160 years later we can still see and admire her work of art. Minimal deterioration and a work of high quality.
I'm yet to see similar quality with digital. Most digital prints fade or discolor within a few years and disk drives turn unreadable.
Yes, it was a huge effort making those photos but like fine art and fine wine, they only get better with age !
