   Hi,
     I was watching Antiques Road Show and they had a photograph on there that was called a "Ivorytype" They claimed that there were only a few of them known to be in existence from the 1850's .. It was hard for me to get a close look as I live right next to downtown Cleveland , Ohio, so the reception is awful... but it looked very much like a oil painting ..... Does anyone know of this process?
    The photo was a portrait of a well known historical person who invented the submarine , and I think they valued it at $4000 to $6000..
