From looking at the image and what I know about Garnder the image was most likely printed using a glass negative this size shot with wet plate collodion.

Dear List,
Received SOTHEBY's auction results with the above mentioned image for 37.500 USDollar.
Obviously 'mammoth' stands for formats like 40x50 cm , never heard the expression before in that sense.


Cheers,
Henk
