| Notes | The daguerreotype process records a photographic image on a sensitised silver-plated sheet of copper. Especially suited to portraiture, this method of photography became very popular in the mid nineteenth century when practitioners were active around the world. Many daguerreotypes were produced experimentally during the later 1840s and commercially in the 1850s before being superceded by other processes. Common subjects of the stereo daguerreotype were statues, portraits and nudes. |
