Though Dadaists are frequently credited with the invention of photomontage, techniques involving combining multiple photographs into a single composite image have been around since at least the mid-Victorian era.[1] These could be made by combining negatives, or by combining prints and then re-photographing the result so that it looked seamless. Offered here is an example of early composite imagery published by F. L. Moore of Philadelphia, consisting of portraits of women numbered 1100. It seems to be a reproduction by Moore of an 1860s "theatrical portrait gallery" of actresses' portraits produced by C. D. Fredericks & Co. of New York City; note that Moore is identified verso as an "Importer & Publisher of Cartes de Visite, &c.," not a photographer. An interesting early example of photomanipulation.

Wear to both photograph and mount, overall very good to excellent. Carte de visite measuring 2 ¼ by 3 ½ inches on heavy cardstock.
