Nineteenth Century (1860s) Photography Demonstration with Craig Murphy of Glens

Craig Murphy brings his traveling tintype studio to The Hyde Collection for a lecture and a live demonstration of this historic photographic process. Visitors will experience a photograph coming into existence exactly as it did in the 1860s, and they will gain a better understanding of how this seemingly magical process spurred the imagination of artists and engineers to create one of the most universally accessed and frequently employed variables to our cultural equation: photography.
