A Daguerreotype photo is an image produced on a silver coated copper plate. Sensitizing agent: iodine; developing agent: mercury. Invented by Frenchman Louis-Jacque-Mande Daguerre. First introduced in 1839 and peak years were 1852-1854. Dag production waned from 1858-1860 after the introduction of the cheaper & more durable tintype. Daguerreotypes were more expensive to produce & they needed to be in hard cases to protect the image from sunlight & damage. Many types of hard cases, both pressed wood embossed with designs & thermoplastic were used & many collectors specialize in collecting these fine cases! The daguerreotype is perhaps the most "brilliant" of early images, usually exhibiting a wide tonal range with rich blacks and bright whites as compared to usually "lackluster" ambrotypes and tintypes. (From "Early Photographs" by O. Henry Mace)
