The world's first illustrated newspaper, the invention of the daguerrotype and other advances in the field of mechanical reproduction led to the development of a visual culture that would be of prime importance to later art movements such as impressionism.
The daguerreotype is named after its inventor, French artist and chemist Louis J.M. Daguerre, who announced its perfection (after years of experimentation) in 1839 (the French Academy of Sciences announced the process on January 9 of that year).
A masterpiece of duality, Either/Or is a brilliant exploration of the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical - both meditating ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures, and eloquently expounding the noble virtues of a morally upstanding life.
