2.0 out of 5 stars This book is not worth the money, April 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames (Paperback)
This book shows many cases, gives rarity & tell who madethe cases. There is almost no text at all in this book, it isbasically a picture book. The book is lacking in information on the different companies that made cases & on when the cases were made. For those who do not know about the cases a company name is not helpful without the company background. Without the time they were made they are not helpful in dating the images they hold. The book is lacking in that it does not show a single top folding case from the early years of photography c1839 to 1842/43. You would be better off getting the books 'Union Cases' by Krainik & Walvoord & 'American Minature Case Art' by Rinhart. The two books I recommend give more information on the cases & are not just a bunch of pretty pictures. Do not waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best!, December 28, 2008
By 
Scrapgirl2 (My Town, Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nineteenth Century Photographic Cases and Wall Frames (Paperback)
If you enjoy collecting online, you can't find a better reference book for identifying the many union cases and frames. This book offers enough historical background information on all aspects of the beautiful and unique union case; it's origins and makers; mat and hinge designs; all of which will help make more intelligent decisions in your collecting. You will find some of the most beautiful photos of cases from noted collectors the world over, many of which you would never see elsewhere. The author was thorough in pointing out discovered differences in several of the cases where other manufacturers made "similar" designs due to the popularity or trends of the time, stimulating the detective in all of us to find more on our own. I just have to say that this book has brought me so much enjoyment in my own collecting and an higher appreciation of the wonderful artistry from an earlier time.
