There are some extremely rare examples of daguerreotypes from the mid-1850s. Among photographs from the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, a special place is occupied by such leading photographers as P.P. Pavlov, M.P. Dmitriev, S.M. Prokudin-Gorskii, and others. There is a separate complex of materials and photographs connected with the Russian Photographic Society (1894–1928), including the work of a number of its members—N.I. Babir, Ia.Bulgak, P.K. Novitskii, B.I. Pashkevich, and A.I. Trapani. Original photographer's prints from the 1920s and 1930s include those of masters of various types—Iu.P. Eremin, A.V. Khlebnikov, P.V. Klepikov, M.S. Nappel'baum, and A.M. Rodchenko, among others. They reflect many different styles, manners, and tendencies, from photojournalism to traditional portraits and lyrical landscapes. The collection also has samples of author's prints or reproductions of the work of photographers from Germany, Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, and the United States, from 1900 to the late 1980s. These include pictures by Rudolph Dürkoop, Hugo Erfurt, Nicolas Perscheid, and others.
