This image is very demonstrative of Louis Daguerre’s works because it
is a Daguerreotype, one of the first forms of photography inventive, made with
a copper plating and captured using a small aperture lens. The lady in this
photo seems quite serious and has a hair style unbeknownst to modern people,
however the photo is a very common representation of a portrait-type picture in
the past and many family’s began to hold these types of photographs when
photography first became popular.
Louis Daguerre invented Daguerreotypes in 1839 and sold the process
used to the French government, in this image of Louis, a solemn expression,
classical hairstyle, upper-class suit, and bushy mustache characterize his 19th
century fashion.
