This image is also a daguerreotype, a photographic process invented by Louis Daguerre. Polished, silver coated copper plates were placed inside a camera and then developed, producing images with exceptionally sharp detail. However, copies could not be made.
Daguerreotypes were used primarily during the 1840s and 1850s before being replaced by less expensive and more versatile methods, such as the ambrotype and the tintype.
A few months after announcing his invention, Daguerre’s studio caught fire. He urged firefighters to save his adjacent house, which contained his laboratory. The daguerreotype apparatus, photographs, and documents were rescued.
Today, only around 25 daguerreotypes can be attributed to Louis Daguerre.
