The first commercially successful photographic process was announced in 1839, the result of over a decade of experimentation by Louis Daguerre and Nicéphore Niépce. Unfortunately, Niépce died before the daguerreotype process was realized, and is best known for his invention of the heliograph, the process by which the “first photograph” was made in 1826. Daguerreotypes are sharply defined, highly reflective, one-of-a-kind photographs on silver-coated copper plates, usually packaged behind glass and kept in protective cases. The daguerreotype process is demonstrated in this chapter.
This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, grant number MA-10-13-0194.

I remember seeing my first strip of contacts develop. Seeing that image appear was a moment I will never forget. Must have been 10 or 11 in a tiny darkroom my dad built for me. How they felt back then when they created the first images ever must have been out of this world.

So interesting even to this day. Back in the late 1990s I had the pleasure of participating in Eastman House historic process workshops. Daguerreotype, albumen, etc. To this day the images made during these workshops are among my most prized photographic possessions.

This is so amazing . To be able to see a street from the 1840's is a rush . To see Robert Cornelius self portrait from 1839 is incredible . Such Incredibles minds with such a driven purpose :) learning about this stuff is so interesting . The entire process , learning of it and those who wanted to capture a moment in time is special .

This is the most understandable explanation of the daguerreotype process I've seen yet. Thank you!!

Louis Daguerre was a French painter who created 'Daguerreotypes', a process that gave portraits a sharp reflective style, like a mirror.

I LOVE this video. I show it to my students in Digital Art during their photo editing unit so they know here photography comes from!

Thank you for this amazing video :)

Would love to see some Grant Romer! His lecture, on YouTube, in Atlanta some 10 years ago was a throwback to the 19th century Lyceum---fabulous! How anyone figured this out in the beginning is beyond my comprehension.

Thank you Louis Daguerre from France who invented photography.
-
Watched this for my honors English class. Pretty cool.
-
France gave birth to countless inventions, researchers and pionneers. Question is: how did you get possession of those unique pieces that should belong to a French museum?
-
Largest collection of Daguerreotypes in the world and they are all stored???? They should be on display for people to see them.
-
Daguerreotypes have a "steampunk" feeling about them to me. It is certainly a process that belongs in the 19th century, a time that seems like a blend of science,magic and adventure. They are also very beautiful in a way in which modern photography seems almost completely lacking.

this is so cool

Of course developing images in warm mercury vapour was not without hazard.
