The photography choice of the mid 1850's through the 1860's.
An ambrotype was a photographic process invented in the 1850's that replaced the daguerreotype (it was cheaper to produce an ambrotype). By the mid 1860's, the tintype became the photography of choice. As it is today, technology kept changing!
