Carl Friedrich Mylius, a notable 19th-century German photographer, is renowned for his contributions to the field of albumen print photography. Albumen prints, a popular photographic technique in the mid-19th century, involve coating a sheet of paper with albumen (egg white) and then sensitizing it with a silver nitrate solution. This process, which was first introduced by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard in 1850, produces a glossy, finely detailed image that became the dominant form of photographic printing for several decades.

Mylius's work with albumen prints is distinguished by its clarity, depth, and meticulous attention to detail. His photographs often capture the architectural and urban landscapes of his time, providing a historical record of 19th-century Germany. Mylius's ability to manipulate light and shadow within the constraints of the albumen process highlights his technical skill and artistic vision. His prints are characterized by their rich tonal range and sharpness, qualities that were highly prized in the era of albumen photography.

The albumen print process itself was labor-intensive and required a high degree of precision. Photographers like Mylius had to prepare their own materials, including the albumen solution and the sensitized paper. The paper was then exposed to light in contact with a negative, and the resulting image was developed and fixed using chemical baths. This meticulous process allowed for a high level of control over the final image, contributing to the enduring legacy of albumen prints as a significant advancement in photographic technology.

Carl Friedrich Mylius's albumen prints not only exemplify the technical prowess of 19th-century photography but also serve as invaluable historical documents. His work offers a window into the past, capturing the essence of the period's architectural and cultural landscapes with remarkable fidelity. Today, Mylius's albumen prints are appreciated both for their aesthetic qualities and their historical significance, continuing to be studied and admired by photographers, historians, and art enthusiasts alike.
