There are a few portraits of prominent figures from the region, including Washington Irving (1783-1859). There are also a few stereographs from France and Italy; these photographs were most likely not taken by the Langenheim Brothers but were offered and sold under their name. Additionally, there are two salt prints of Niagara Falls in glass stereograph format. The three lantern slides are mounted in wooden frames and depict Niagara Falls, Girard College, and the Jas Dundas Mansion in Philadelphia. There is one microphotograph of the printed text of the Ten Commandments verse from the Bible. A few of the stereographs and the three lantern slides are hand colored.
