Is there a website that assists in determining whether any of these are of known individuals ? I do have an ambrotype of civil war General Burnside. I was informed by the Smithsonian years ago that there were many copies made. Nonetheless, is it of any significant value ? I also have numerous other ambrotypes, including a few non portraits. Also many tintypes including many civil war era military, the latter all portraits. Lastly, I have a 60 or so collection of "hard cases". I am interested in determining the value of all of the above. Thank you. I have several-50+-daguerreotypes, all portraits. Is there a website that assists in determining whether any of these are of known individuals ?
