This daguerreotype shows an unidentified woman, and its record gives little more than a truncated title, so we cannot tell who she was or where she sat. It dates to 1840, only about a year after Louis Daguerre's process was publicly announced in 1839, when portraits like this were still a novelty. Exposures then ran from several seconds to minutes, so sitters had to hold still, which accounts for the serious, composed expressions common to early portraits. Each daguerreotype is a single, reversed image on a polished silver-coated copper plate, and its mirror-like surface rewards close viewing from different angles.
