Page 302 3-534G and is considered rare. The history of the miniature case is intimately associated with the development of the photographic process. The demise of the case industry, the death knell of this art form, can be attributed to the use of the four-lens camera and paper photography. Perfected by Andre Adolphe-Eugene Disderi in 1857 it is known as the carte de visite. The daguerreotype and ambrotype could not compete with the less costly production of multiple images. These cartes de visite images became an immediate success since they could be easily carried and transported without the concern for damage or glass breakage. Paper images were light and cheap and multiple copies were immediately available from a single exposure. And so, by the end of the 1860's, the miniature case became obsolete. This is a One-Of-A-Kind heirloom of History, which is certain to be a prized addition to any Photography Collection. Please visit our other items and
