While I knew what Daguerreotype photography was, I did not know or understand the process involved. This was a great showcase of that process. Many thanks. Very well presented.

Extraordinary. It's impressive to see the steps involved - one can only imagine the trial and error involved before the process was perfected. Ironically, the era of the daguerreotype lasted barely twenty years before being superceded by more efficient processes. 🐧

I find the funniest statement is, "Fixing is simple, using sodium thiosulfate." That was the process/chemistry that alluded chemists for over 100 years. Sure, now that we know the answer, it's all so simple. Lol
