Agatha Christie's popular hero Hercule Poirot concluded that there was three reasons to keep photos - vanity, sentiment, and to help solve a murder. This book now offers a fourth reason - the pleasure of collecting. It will introduce the reader to the wide world of carte-de-viste photographs and the legacy they left. It details the vast range of subjects worldwide recorded by the early photographers, and then goes on to explain how to date the images and also to start a collection. These countless photos documented every aspect of Victorian life and are represented in this book, making it of great interest to both collectors of carte-de-viste and Victorian Era enthusiasts.
