- Abstract
This article focuses on the value that people place on private photographs and on the development of portrait photography and private photography. Several topics are discussed, including how the Jewish Holocaust survivor Simon Schochet described how there was a huge demand for personal photographs in the Dachau concentration camp in Dachau, Germany, how family photographs have more value than other possessions for most people because they are tied to one's personal identity and to the genealogical continuity of a family's history, and how the most historically important type of photograph is the portrait because of its representative quality. Also mentioned are the history of photography, the types of photography, and the materials used over time to produce pictures.
