The practice of taking pictures of pets is as old as the camera itself. The survival of so many pet images shows that pet owners in the 1800s used film to capture their pets for rememberance just as pet owners do today. Each of these photo albums contain a variety of photographic formats, from early daguerreotypes and tintypes to snapshots from the 1960s, including formal portraits along with candid shots.
