@Dr_TheHistories FYI Getty has a stereoview which they date to around 1858. I personally think the card looks like it is probably from around 1860 or earlier. https://t.co/xgl1mTDC7a

#oscars What happened to Conan? Was he replaced by Jay Leno at the last second!?

@JustinWhang I've spent a few years trying to find out where this daguerreotype photo from the 1840s/1850s was taken, any help would be much appreciated: https://t.co/x31hPCgFhV

@owenbroadcast Wishing you good luck in contacting them with further info. I myself have sent much information on photographs to the likes of LOC and the Getty Museum but I do not have as much time today to do so as I used to.

[chubachus @chubachus]

@owenbroadcast Back in 2015, I made stereoscopic animations of most of Brown's Wilderness stereoviews at LOC on my Youtube channel, adding the original caption before each image played (I'd like to remake it someday as it does not look that great to me today). https://t.co/kT3IUSNx0j

@owenbroadcast They also have another collection of Brown's Wilderness albumen prints which were printed during the 1880s according to LOC.

[chubachus @chubachus]

@owenbroadcast The Library of Congress' Robin Stanford collection of stereoview cards has at least 16 of Brown's Wilderness photos in stereoview card card form, the way in which they were originally published in the 1860s.

[chubachus @chubachus]

@owenbroadcast The one photo with the sprawling skeletons wearing ragged uniforms was actually taken on the Gaines' Mill battlefield near Richmond. It was taken by photographer John Reekie in 1865. The Library of Congress has the original stereo glass negative of that photo today...

[chubachus @chubachus]

@petrarch1374 @owenbroadcast Also, the info on the Met's website with the photos is unfortunately a bit poorly researched or outdated. It probably has not been updated since they acquired them in 2005.

[chubachus @chubachus]

@owenbroadcast The original glass negatives of the Wilderness taken by Brown that the Met's paper albumen prints were printed from are believed lost today.

@stevenportnoy hey, any chance that CBS could make available the full George Polk 60 Minutes segment to view as a companion piece to your great series? Thanks.

@KenJennings So can they fire Mayim for breaking her contract or something for this? Because Ken is a superior host in every way. I doubt most of the people responding to this even watch Jeopardy anyways.
