I'm writing a book that is based in 1876, Deadwood, Dakota Territory and trying to find out what type of photography was used for personal portraits? Maybe tin types, but don't know. If someone in the camp wanted a portrait and went to the photographer what type of photography and camera was used?? I'm fairly certain that wet plates were used for professional photography...but don't think it was used for common portraits. Appreciate any help and ideas. Thanks,
