How was it made? The Daguerreotype | V&A
Today only a handful of specialists create daguerreotypes, as the chemicals involved should not be used without the proper training and safety protocols. In this film Dr Mike Robinson creates a portrait using his own version of the technique.
To create a daguerreotype, a silver plated sheet was given a light sensitive surface coating of iodine vapour. After a long exposure in the camera, the image was developed over heated mercury and fixed in a solution of common salt. As the image lies on the surface of a highly polished plate, it is best seen from an angle to minimise reflections.

The Daguerreotype - Photographic Processes Series - Chapter 2 of 12
PLEASE NOTE, AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS VIDEO IS AVAILABLE ON OUR CHANNEL.
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.

Early Photography: Making Daguerreotypes
The daguerreotype is a one-of-a-kind, highly detailed photographic image on a polished copper plate coated with silver. It was the first popular photographic medium and enjoyed great success when it was introduced in 1839.
Although primarily a nineteenth-century medium involving a painstaking process, daguerreotypy is still practiced today by an active--and avid--group of devotees.

Daguerreotype Beauties From The 19th Century Brought To Life (Animated)
► Hello everyone and welcome back to Mystery Scoop. Today we're looking at the early photography of the 19th century and few beautiful examples from that era, brought to life using colorization and AI animations. Daguerreotypes, as earliest forms of photographs, are unique images on highly polished silver plates. The process was invented in France by Louis Daguerre and was introduced to the world in 1839. American photographers quickly capitalized on this new invention, which was capable of capturing a "truthful likeness" and although born in Europe, the daguerreotype became extremely popular in the United States. Due to their vulnerability, most daguerreotypes are presented in a special housing, as open model or a folding case. For today's video I have selected few examples of this form o...

Photographic processes | The Daguerreotype
The invention of the daguerreotype process was announced by the Frenchman Louis Daguerre in 1839 and was widely acclaimed. The image produced had a startling clarity and made the daguerreotype hugely popular as a medium for portraiture until the middle of the 1850’s.

The Nanotechnology of the Daguerreotype
(credit: Cincinnati Waterfront Daguerreotype Panorama, Fontayne and Porter, daguerreotypists, 1848 // Owned by the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County http://1848.cincinnatilibrary.org )
The daguerreotype is widely considered to be the first form of photography, invented by Frenchman Louis Daguerre in 1839. The George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY owns one of the largest collections of these unique photographic artifacts, with over 5,000 in their holdings. Conservators who have been working with and studying this remarkable technology have discovered that the silver plates that the images are recorded on have been deteriorating over time, but up until recently they haven't been able to explain why.
This is where physicists at the...

Due to their vulnerability, most daguerreotypes are presented in a special housing, as open model or a folding case. For today's video I have selected few examples of this form of photographs depicting portraits of young women in 1850s and 60s, mostly unidentified. For extra flair, facial animations have been added using AI technology that bring these 19th century beauties to life.

The daguerreotype is widely considered to be the first form of photography, invented by Frenchman Louis Daguerre in 1839. The George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY owns one of the largest collections of these unique photographic artifacts, with over 5,000 in their holdings. Conservators who have been working with and studying this remarkable technology have discovered that the silver plates that the images are recorded on have been deteriorating over time, but up until recently they haven't been able to explain why.
This is where physicists at the University of Rochester enter into the equation. Using advanced technology such as a scanning electron microscope (SEM), they have been able to observe previously unknown properties of these more than 150 year old photographic plates. Nicholas Bigelow, the Lee A. DuBridge Chair in Physics and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy has been looking at the nanostructure of these very old and very high resolution photographs and finding that they are actually a biologically active surface. Using the SEM they can see remarkable hybrid organic-metallic features that appear to be growing on the plates, like fungi. The images obtained with the SEM also reveal surface pores and voids below the image surface that may be a significant cause of image deterioration and loss over time.
Through this research initiative, Ralph Wiegandt, Senior Project Conservator at the George Eastman House has been able to dedicate his work to developing solutions for stopping further deterioration of daguerreotypes and preserve the collection. One such tool is an encasement that contains the gas argon, which they have found will not degrade the images like oxygen will. The cases also keep out harmful moisture and contaminants and each has a sensor that allows conservators to test for the presence of oxygen within the case.
While the research has not yet provided a solution for restoring already damaged daguerreotypes, it offers hope that the existing pieces will not further deteriorate.
History of Collaboration
The University of Rochester and George Eastman House share a common history through Kodak founder George Eastman -- who shared half his philanthropic fortune with the University, including establishing the River Campus, the Eastman School of Music, and the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Upon his death in 1932, he bequeathed his home to the University. Two presidents resided there, beginning with his close friend Rush Rhees, until 1947 when the University transferred the property to a board of trustees, which established a museum of photography. Since then the University and Eastman House have had a history of sharing collections followed by academic collaboration in the 1950s, which continue to the present day.
In 2010, the University of Rochester and George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, the world's preeminent museum of imaging, entered into an alliance to further public engagement, research, and education in the arts and sciences, with a focus on the museum's photography and motion-picture collections.
