FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF PHOTOGRAPHY--a fantastic Flickr photo album of AMBROTYPES courtesy of Curt J:Among the most beautiful of early photographs. These images on glass,
are a part of the transition from daguerreotype to the more durable
tintype. Ambrotypes were nearly always cased, due to the fragile nature
of glass. They date from the early 1850's to the latter part of the
Civil War. SEE 94 WONDERFUL IMAGES HERE.

FOR THOSE WHO COLLECT THE PHOTOGRAPHY WORK OF G.B.
POLETTO...a wonderful post from our friends at European Film Star Postcards.
Poletto (1915-1988) was one of the most prolific set photographers that
worked in the Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. In 1950, Titanus,
one of the major studios, offered him an exclusive contract, which
committed him to be the still photographer for all the films produced by
the studio. Poletto worked with such famous directors as Roberto
Rossellini, Federico Fellini, and Luchino Visconti, but he also
photographed many genre films, including the classic romantic comedies
Pane, amore e fantasia/Bread, Love and Dreams (1953) with Gina
Lollobrigida, and Poveri ma belli/Poor But Beautiful (Dino Risi, 1957),
starring Marisa Allasio. His photos were used for countless European
film star postcards. SEE MORE AT https://filmstarpostcards.blogspot.com/2020/05/photo-by-gb-poletto.html
