A wood engraving of the monument to Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre at Bry-sur-Marne, a town east of Paris where the inventor of the daguerreotype spent his later years. Daguerre announced his process in 1839, and the memorial honors that work after his death in 1851. The image ran in *Gleason's Pictorial*, an illustrated American weekly, in 1854, showing how quickly news of French photography reached readers across the Atlantic.
