Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases & Wall Frames, Supplement by Paul Berg

Updated in 2024!

This supplement remains as a work in progress. It is the compendium of only those nineteenth century photographic cases which I have deemed worthy of recording and which I have seen since 2016 when the third edition of my book Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames was published.

Undoubtedly more items will surface in the future but the rate at which this is happening has slowed to less than a trickle. Certainly, it would have been better and more convenient for the user had I integrated them into the third edition. Such would have required revising the total page layout of that text, a tremendous task of time, energy and expense. The resulting volume would be close to eight hundred pages and cost of production would render the final product cost prohibitive to the buyer. Also, there would be little demand for it especially from those who already have the last edition. Perhaps in the future the original work can be divided into two volumes with the supplementary material included in the appropriate page location. All references to the 3rd edition refer to that printing of Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames.
