Love it. I had yet to read the Daily Mail today and am surprised they have this story.

Thanks for sharing this, Phil. I've long been an admirer of the works of O'Sullivan as well as William Henry Jackson and Edward Curtis.

Interesting stuff, thanks for pointing out this article.
The photos don't look like the wet plate work I'm used to seeing at LFphoto.info.
