	Nineteenth-Century Photography: A Timeline
		To produce a daguerrotype a highly polished silvered copper plate is exposed to iodine vapour, leaving a thin coating of light sensitive silver iodide on it.
		The finished daguerrotype has to be framed behind glass with the edges sealed to prevent oxidation of the silver.
		Stereo daguerrotypes by Jules Duboscq are shown at the Great Exhibition in London.

	The Crafted Photograph - Chuck Close
		He remarks, "When you look at a daguerrotype, your experience does not stop with the imagery but also involves the physicality of the process." Unless one looks at a daguerrotype from the right angle in the right light, one sees only a mirror.
		The daguerrotype has the ability to make you fill in the image, and that filling in makes the image almost alive." Close's work is all about the relation of parts to the whole, about focus, and with the daguerrotype, the closer one gets, the more one sees.
		Aware that daguerrotypes were traditionally suited to photographing people in the nineteenth century, Close wanted to extend his own ideas about portraiture through using the photographic process himself.

	Photo Technology : index
		After the death of Niepce, Daugerre continued his reasearch and invented the daguerrotype, which was exposed onto a polished surface of silver with a coating of silver halide.
		The Daguerrotype was a huge leap in the technology of photography because it reduced exposure times to only a few minutes.
		Daguerrotypes were incredibly detailed, but were not reproduceable.

		The daguerrotype was followed in the 1850s by the ambrotype, which used a glass plate painted fl on the back to create an image.
		The ambrotype was cheaper than the daguerrotype, making it more accessible to a wider segment of the population.
		Daguerrotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes can be more difficult to find with prices anywhere from $10 to over $100.

		Gold toning, introduced in 1840, soon became universal, and the finished plates were then sealed behind glass in often elaborate cases for protection.
		Daguerrotypes were always laterally reversed and were thus a 'mirror image' in two senses.
		There are many safety hazards in the process, and it should only be attempted under strictly controlled conditions; there are some more modern variants of the process that reduce some of the problems, and occasional workshops are held at some major photographic centers.

		It has a daguerrotype of a gentleman in coat and collar, and this is set behind a bevelled and bezel set crystal/glass.

		Their Daguerrotype sun was almost 5 inches in diameter and was sharp enough to show the sunspots.
		In 1842, the partially eclipsed sun was photographed by the Austrian astronomer Majocchi; and in 1851, a Daguerrotype of solar eclipse totality showed the prominences and corona in a 24 second exposure.
		Both Daguerrotypes and collodion plates were taken by the score to supplement visual timings, but they all failed due to atmospheric blurring and the fl drop effect and general disagreement as to exact time of entry.

	The Crafted Photograph - Techniques
		The process displaced the daguerrotype and calotype processes and was the most popular negative process from the mid-1850s to the 1880s.
		Each daguerrotype is unique and permanent, but the process went out of fashion after the introduction of the wet collodian process in the 1850s.
		A photographic image made without a camera, either by placing objects on a sensitized surface (paper or film) that is exposed to light, or simply by directing light onto the material.
