  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Daguerreotypes represent the first practical form of photographs, particularly in vogue between 1840 and 1860, before becoming outdated due to the development of alternative and faster techniques. In daguerreotypes, the image results from the distribution of silver/mercury microcrystals of varying size and density on a silver-coated copper sheet. Through years, several 19th century daguerreotypes have suffered several corrosion phenomena, which have greatly reduced their historic and artistic value.
