Examples of daguerreotype

• My children have my daguerreotype. 

• One of the most pathetic was a small daguerreotype of a beautiful young girl. 

• She had taken out a daguerreotype of her husband, and was looking at it. 

• She produced a piece of white paper in which the daguerreotype had been folded. 

• Then there were one or two daguerreotypes, little full-length figures framed in gold paper. 

• Initially, as is the case here, artists and later trades men took direct gelatin copies from the surface of the daguerreotype to produce lithographs.

• Since early daguerreotypes required a fifteen-minute exposure, post-mortem images of children were easier to produce than images of live children.

• This archive includes daguerreotypes, magic lantern slides, glass plate negatives and modern cellulose nitrate and acetate formats.
