The resolution in those photos is amazing.
I’m not sure a modern camera could best these.

Those wet plate photos are incredible, and the amount of effort to get each one I can only imagine. Humping around a big camera, mixing the collodion, applying it, taking the picture and developing all before the collodion dries, adjusting for temperature on the fly, storing the glass negatives.

This guy was a master. Impressive photos.
