AND IN ADDITION…

The daguerreotype is the first photographic process, developed by Nicéphore Niépce and later Louis Daguerre, and gifted to the world (except the United Kingdom) by France in 1839.
It is simultaneously a negative and a positive, creating its characteristic mirror-like effect.
In the 19th century, these images were poetically called “the mirrors that remember.”
