Lisa, I have just started collecting 1860s, so this collection is not very big yet. I do have a nice large group wedding photo from England. Another 1860s photo I purchased from GWTW costume designer Walter Plunkett's grandson. The reason this collection is small is because in Richmond, Virginia 1860s photos are very expensive. Last week during my Mississippi trip, we went antiquing and found 1860s photos for $6 each. I bought everyone that I found. Ironically all the photos are the North. My future daughter-in-law was with me at the antique stores. She is minoring in costume design and knows the period's costumes. She is keeping an eye out for more 1860s photos in MS and Alabama.
