Hi Edward,
I think GWW is still somewhat underrated due the volume of reproduction. I think time will raise his stature further. I have a similar number of images to yourself, mostly stereos and cdvs but also some larger albumen prints, I've even added a few of the late GWW postcards to my collection.
I have been working on a very large digital stereo card index database. (you cant buy them all!)
I think I may have been a little over keen in my attribution of the cdv image i posted, but the images is still very fine and one of my favorites.
Regards
ian
