[@johnsmith1474]

For location photography at that time, you used a, "wet plate process" and a "view camera." You set up a large camera consisting of frosted focus glass at back, bellows in the middle, & lens on front. The lens projects an image onto the frosted glass that can be focused by lengthening/shortening the bellows. Such a camera weighs about 20 lbs. From behind the camera you view the projection onto the frosted glass with a black cloth over your head to block out outside light, as the projected image is quite dim. You reposition the camera to get your desired framing, then move the lens fore/aft to bring it into focus, and put on the lens cap. This could take a while to get just right, afterward the camera is then ready to take a picture upon being loaded with a single sheet of film. The "film" was a sheet of glass, coated on location with a light sensitive colloidal liquid in a perfectly dark enclosure set up for that purpose (outside in nature, often a black tent). You mixed the colloid, coating the glass sheet with the light sensitive colloid in complete darkness, then installed it into a light-tight wooden "holder" or frame with a removable cover sheet. You then bring the holder with glass inside to the camera, & swap out the frosted focusing glass at the back of the camera for it, where it rests at the exact position onto which the image had been focused. You now have a loaded camera ready to expose film. To expose the film installed in the camera you first slide away the cover sheet (the "dark slide") from the glass sheet holder (the side that faces toward the lens). Using a watch, you then remove the lens cap allowing light through the lens just as when you focused (cameras this old did not have shutters), thus exposing the film for a known time, then replace the cap. You reinsert the dark slide to make the glass sheet safe from light, and may then repeat the process with another holder of film. You probably developed the film in a chemical bath before leaving, to make sure you got a usable image. PS this clunky process gets fantastic results of far higher quality in many ways than what you can achieve today, unless you use the same processes.

@@RiskyBisky11 What he said. Well written, Mr. Smith. Very much appreciated.

[@Puschit1]

You brought up an interesting point: I always noticed that some old timey photos, especially portraits, are very sharp and have a very high resolution. This explains it - but it still suprises me that the quality is actually still higher than today's.

“Paul Morphy was the greatest chess player that ever lived. Every student of the game, who has delved into the stories of the past, realizes that no one ever was so far superior to the players of his time, or ever defeated his opponents with such ease, and no one ever offered knight odds to the men who considered themselves his equal.“ - Emmanuel Lasker

Wow, I've played this opening so many times in Blitz, but seldom had the opportunity to play Qb3. The most persistent way(the one I have had most troubles with and the one line I use to beat players who play King's gambit against me) with Black is g5,...Bg7,...d6,...Bg4,...Bxf3 etc. (Thanks to the person below for pointing out my mistake. I meant Bg7, not b7)

g5 then Bg7 then exchange black whites bishop on the king side for the knight ... you wouldnt fianchetto queen side first, rite ? (> Bb7)

Are you sure that the photo is published in "Skizze aus der Schachwelt"? The book includes Otto Spammer's famous illustration, which is based on the photograph; but it doesn't give the photograph itself, as far as I know. I'm not sure the actual photo even exists anymore.

Anderssen throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, (as we say the Uk), at Morphy, but he still doesn’t really put Morphy in danger, but it makes for a very dramatic game. And thanks to Agad for showing us such a rich seam of Chess history.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

By this time, Morphy was actually giving Mr. Anderssen odds of one kitchen sink. Later on he'd add a toaster oven and a dishwasher.

I LOVE the Morphy saga, however, after weeks of no Morphy updates we now get bombarded with them. And while that is a great experience, the saga will end some day and at this pace I fear it'll end too soon. Maybe mix it up a bit and have only 2 or 3 Morphy games per week?
