    Daguerreotype was the first publicly available photographic process; it was widely used during the 1840s and 1850s. "Daguerreotype" also refers to an image created through this process.
    Invented by Louis Daguerre and introduced worldwide in 1839, the daguerreotype was almost completely superseded by 1860 with new, less expensive processes, such as ambrotype, that yield more readily viewable images. There has been a revival of daguerreotype since the late 20th century by a small number of photographers interested in making artistic use of early photographic processes.
    The first authenticated image of Abraham Lincoln, a daguerreotype of him as U.S. Congressman-elect in 1846, attributed to Nicholas H. Shepard.
    To make the image, a daguerreotypist polished a sheet of silver-plated copper to a mirror finish; treated it with fumes that made its surface light sensitive; exposed it in a camera for as long as was judged to be necessary, which could be as little as a few seconds for brightly sunlit subjects or much longer with less intense lighting; made the resulting latent image on it visible by fuming it with mercury vapor; removed its sensitivity to light by liquid chemical treatment; rinsed and dried it; and then sealed the easily marred result behind glass in a protective enclosure.

    When I was young I used to go into my grandparents attic. There were boxes of old photographs there and I always grabbed two photos, took them downstairs and asked my grandparents who they were. Then, I'd write their names on the back, borrow them, and have copies made for me to keep. Now, I have a relatively large collection of my family photographs and know who they are. I'm so glad I was interested enough when I was young (60 years ago) to do that.

      I clean old gravestones. I recently cleaned the grave stone of a woman born in 1820. She died in 1886. She was a housekeeper on a farm. Her stone will be pure white when it’s totally cleaned and look like the day it was set. Now, the next time it will need cleaning is the year 2159. Let’s hope someone else picks up the mantle and restores it again. I always think about things like that. The past, now and the future.

      @MCraft-pt9nf 2 роки тому

      From my understanding that's wildly a myth. They did take post mortem photos but those people were obviously dead and in coffins. The origin of the "propped up dead Victorian" comes from the fact that photography took soooo long so to keep people from moving they used a stabilizing apparatus. I think a UA-camr called Ask A Mortician did a video debunking the myth. She has a lot of peer reviewed articles on it linked.

    when we watch footage from the late 1800s/early 1900s, it's sobering to think they're all gone. We always wonder who they were, what their history was, what kind of lives they led etc. If only we could pop back to those times and observe or question people.
