AMBROTYPE (Collodion positive) - The Ambrotype was invented in the summer of 1847 by EZEKIEL HAWKINS in Cincinnati, Ohio. It first happened by producing a positive photograph on glass; which resembled a negative. Then painting the back with black paint, producing a positive image. Ambrotypes (which were called Collodion positive in England) were named after JAMES AMBROSE CUTTING (1814-1867) of Boston, Massachusetts, who in July 4, 1854 patented a specific variety which was superior to all other varieties of his time. Mr. Ambrose new "ambrotype patent" became very popular and easily accessible. The first ambrotype exhibition in the United States was in December of 1854. The popularity of Ambrotypes slowly died out in the late 1850's and was totally over-shadowed by the new forms of photography in 1860. In very secluded areas they were continued until the early 1860's.
