1840s-1860s Hand Tinted Post-Mortem Daguerreotype 1904 worlds fair botany and entomologyInvented in 1839 by Louis Daguerre, daguerreotypes were the favorite form of printed portraits throughout the 1840s and 1850s. Daguerreotypes are silver plated copper, almost mirror like plates, that are painted with light sensitive chemicals.

It is then fixed to remove its light sensitivity and often sealed behind glass in a union frame or brooch to protect it.
