What surfaces have been used to capture images in analog photography?

I hate the description analog, I prefer chemical based -- The first permanent image was produced by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in Central France in 1827. Niepce’s method required an 8 hour exposure. He associated with Louis Jacques Madne Daguerre. Daguerre made his presentation at the Academy of Science 1839. The Daguerreotype is a copper plate, silver plated, fumed with iodine vapor making it light sensitive. This plate is then inserted into a camera in exposed. The now exposed plate fumed with mercury vapor which develops the latent image. The Daguerreotype is important as its use persisted for many years. Some enthusiast continue to make Daguerreotypes. This process makes a beautiful image that in many ways exceeds our best efforts to make films and prints that surpass its exquisiteness. What follows is the Calotype introduced by William Henry Fox Talbot 1841. This is a sheet of paper, bathed in silver nitrate followed by potassium iodide. A new era opened in 1851, Frederick Scott Archer found a way to sensitize glass plates using silver salts suspended in collodion of egg whites. By 1880 this process had almost completely replace the Daguerreotype. This evolved to a solution of silver salts in nitrocellulose mixed with alcohol and ether. The plate was placed in the camera and exposed wet. The wet plate was removed and developed before the mixture had dried and hardened.
An adaptation of the wet plate process was the tintype by Hamilton I Smith and son 1856. Instead of glass, thin sheets of iron were painted with a high gloss lacquer called Japan Black and then coated with the wet plate collodion. Gelatin dry plate binder (emulsion) made by R. l. Maddox 1871

A more obscure substance that has been used to develop film prints is algae:

“Algae grows faster when it receives more light, so algae under a bright spot in the image multiplied faster, and thus became darker, inverting the negative and creating a green-tinted positive image,” Marx explains.

Other interesting substrates (which you can still buy!)

1. Paper, 'Film washi' which is a 35mm 'film' using washi paper as the substrate
2. Glass, not just as a substrate like in gelatin on glass, but as the photosensitive medium as well
3. Fabric, Cyanotypes can be made on fabric
4. Walls, you can buy liquid silver gelatin emulsion that can be painted onto walls (well anything really)
