A daguerreotype from 1844 showing an unidentified man, a portrait whose sitter has been lost to time. Early daguerreotypes like this one were made on silver-plated copper sheets, each a single unique image rather than a print that could be copied from a negative. The process had been announced to the public only a few years earlier, in 1839, and portraits of ordinary people from the 1840s are valued today for showing how sitters dressed and presented themselves when photography was still new and expensive.
