- I've updated the link to point to Hamilton L. Smith for whom an article doesn't exist yet. (Unless it's under a different name). --pgk 19:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Currently the entry on Ferrotype begins "The Daguerreotype, also called the Ambrotype or Card De Viste, is ...". Was this some sort of vandlism or a weird bug? Anyone editing this should know that doesn't make sense. I am going to try to fix it now —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cambridgeron (talk • contribs) 20:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Tintype[edit]
The name the world knows it by is tintype. It was first called a melainotype, then ferrotype (by a rival manufacturer of the iron plates used), but the world knows them as tintypes (William Welling, Photography in America, Page 117).--Persianhistory2008 09:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
