The DAC Collection includes monuments in the history of photography by such artists as Julia Margaret Cameron, as well as images such as Eadweard Muybridge's (American, born England, 1830-1904) documentation of "Annie G with Jockey, Horse Cantering," an albumen print from Animal Locomotion, 1885 (above).

The DAC's approximately 3,000 early European, American, and Asian travel photographs include images by photographers such as Beato, Bonfils, Bourne, and Frith. Examples of early photographs comprise daguerreotypes, tintypes, cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, hand-colored calotype and albumen-print stereos; calotypes by photographers including William Henry Fox Talbot and Calvert Jones; works by Disderi, Nadar, and Emerson; and photographs by Jackson, O'Sullivan, Watkins and other Americans.
