Since this blog is named in honour of Louis Daguerre, the father of photography, I'll begin by posting a daguerreotype or two from my collection...
From the collection of John Rochon
Young Woman in a Striped Dress - 1/6th plate 1840's image in a leather half case, photographer and subject are unknown. This is one of my favourite images, the contrast and clarity are amazing.

Charming Couple - 1/4 plate early 1850's image in a leather half case shown cased and uncased, photographer and subjects are unknown. This is another favourite of mine, I like the simplicity and warmth of the pose.
