1839, from French daguerreotype, coined from name of inventor, Louis Daguerre (1789-1851) + -type (see type (n.)).

A photographic technique invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre in 1839. A daguerreotype uses a silver or silver-coated-copper plate to develop an image in a camera obscura. The image is formed when [..]

Photographs made by the process called daguerreotype, which produces a direct positive image on a silver-coated copper plate. They are often mounted in special cases lined with red velvet or leather.

Process that produces a direct positive image on a silver-coated copper plate, invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre of France and Joseph-Nicéphore Niepce in the 1830s. In the process, a copper pla [..]

Historically, the first photographic process that actually worked, producing a positive image directly on a highly polished, silvered copper plate sensitized with iodide vapor. By exposing the plate t [..]

(n) a photograph made by an early photographic process; the image was produced on a silver plate sensitized to iodine and developed in mercury vapor

this is the name of an object where the world’s first practical photographic process was used to create a photograph.  The photograph was produced on a silver-coated copper plate.  The completed plate [..]

Announced on 7 January 1839 and presented to the world in August 1839 (except in England and Wales where it was patented), the daguerreotype produced a unique image on a silver-coated copper plate. Th [..]

early photographic process with the image made on a light-sensitive silver-coated metallic plate. Invented by Louis Daguerre (1789-1851).

Introduced to the world in 1839 by Louis-Jacques Mandé Daguerre and reputed to be the first photographic process. Daguerreotypes are unique images on a silver coated copper plate. The copper plate is cleaned and polished and sensitized with iodine vapor. After the plate is exposed in the camera it is then developed with mercury vapor and fixed by w [..]

is an early direct photographic technique that does not use a negative. The process creates a highly detailed negative image on a polished sheet of copper coated with a thin layer of silver. When processed and held up to the light the copper plate reflects so creating a positive impression. As no negative is produced each exposure creates a unique [..]

first practical and commercial photographic process, introduced by Louis Daguerre in 1839. The sensitive material comprised silver iodide, deposited on a polished silver plated copper base. A positive [..]

Invented by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre and announced in 1839, this was the first process to take advantage of a latent image. A silver-plated sheet of copper was sensitised with the fumes of chlorin [..]

Among the earliest type of photograph, the finely detailed daguerreotype image is formed on the mirrored surface of a sheet of silver-plated copper. The process is extremely complex and finicky, but t [..]
