West, features rare and exquisite jewelry containing portraits in the 19th centurys four main photographic processesdaguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes and paper prints.

They are complemented in the exhibition by portraits (a gift from Mr. West) of some of the pioneering American photographers who created and marketed photographic jewelry, including Mathew Brady, Jeremiah Gurney, Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes.
