In 1857 each member of the Photographic Exchange Club submitted 50 prints of a single image. These were then collated and bound with accompanying text and technical data and distributed to each of the contributing members. The resulting album is a perfect encapsulation of the state of photography at that moment and the wide variety of processes then in use.
