Enameledphotographs first appeared (in the US) in the 1860s as a way to protect albumenphotographs. The process left the photograph with a thin transparent layer toprotect the photographic image. The photograph was glossy in appearance, couldbe wiped with a moist cloth and wouldn\'t show moisture damage. The enamel process has done an excellent jobin preserving the photograph. The typical age spots or foxing isn’t un-common . However, the process does leaveCDVs with a slight warped or curved appearance-- the telltale sign of anenameled card.

Thefirst US patent that I could find for the process is in 1867 by NathanielWeston of San Francisco, CA:

APPARATUSPOR ENAMELLING PHOTOGRAPHIG PICTURES.

TOWHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME: Be it known that I, NATHANIEL WESTON, of\' thecity and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Enameling Cards of Photographed Pictures.

Thisimprovement does not so much consist in the construction of any particular formof machine as it does in the parts or in combinations for the purposes soughtto be attained.

Figure1 represents a rest to steady the enameling-glass after it has beensufficiently pressed with the hand to distribute the gluten or enamel evenlyover the surface of the cards, which, by this process, is easily` seen throughthe glass. Said rest may he formed by any form or device, and is particularlyfor steadying the Y glass till the enamel is sufficiently set to receive theclamps to hold the upper and lower plates of glass together, keeping them from changing position in removal, itbeing necessary for the edge of the glass to be pressed squarely against therest.

Figure2 represents a Weight that is placed upon the glass as\' the hands are removed,to keep an even pressure upon the enamel. To this weight is attached an elasticor other fastening. Another portion of the fastening is attached to the rest,for the purpose of holding glassas firm and steadily against the rest, and toprevent it from moving of the cards being enameled.

Figure3 represents the enameling-block, for.Placing the lower plate ofglass, upon which the pictures are laid, to receive the enamel. This blockrests upon four square, tapering plugs, or their equivalent, placed upon asuitable article to catch any surplus enamel that may drip from the cards.

Ais the rest; B , the enameling-glasses; C is the Weight; D, the enameling-blockfor the glass; E are the clamps forholding the glass steady until the enamel is set; F are the square, tapering plugs; G is thearticle to catch the surplus enamel; H is thefastening to the weight and rest.

Bythis system the enamel is distributed more evenly; it also prevents, in a greatmeasure, air-blisters\' and spots upon the cards, that destroy their value; italso facilitates the preparation, lessens the labor, and, by steadying theglass upon the surface of the card, makes a more \'beautiful finish. So rapid isthis process with the rest-Weights and fastenings, that by the time anotherglass is prepared, the card-block and enameled card can be set aside forfurther drying, and its place supplied by another; and, among other advantages,is its adaptability, by the use of a. slightly-warmed glass, to enamel overcolored pictures, a desired in the Enamelingprocess.

Thushaving given a full and clear description of my invention, which, together withthe drawings accompanying, will enable any one to practically apply my ideas, Iclaim- The rest A for the glass, or its equivalent; the use of the glasses B ,the weight Gr, the fast cuttings H, theclamps E or their equivalents.

Summarily, daguerreotypes are ona copper plate and cased; ambrotypes are on a glass plate and cased;tintypes are on iron sheets and can be on their own; while albumenprints are paper, carte de visites and cabinet cards are albumen printsmounted on cardboard in varying sizes.
