The Daguerreotype: Nineteenth-Century Technology and Modern Science
by The Johns Hopkins University Press (Paperback)
The discovery of light-sensitive chemicals in mid-nineteenth-century Europe carried large implications -- for scientists, technicians, astronomers, and for the businesspeople who soon made family portraiture standard tabletop fare in middle-class homes. In The Daguerreotype: Nineteenth-Century Technology and Modern Science, M. Susan Barger and William B. White begin with a history of the process itself.
