Didn't Leonardo invent the submarine? Now that would be a valuable
photograph ;~)

> 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?

invented the submarine , and I think they valued it at $4000 to $6000..
