FIVE DAGUERREOTYPE AND AMBROTYPE IN FRAMES
Five daguerreotype and ambrotype photos in frames, circa 19th century. Daguerreotype was the first publicly available photographic process, widely used during the 1840s and 1850s. "Daguerreotype" also refers to an image created through this process. The ambrotype is a photographic process on glass introduced in the early 1850s. The ambrotype quickly grew in popularity because it maintained the image clarity of the daguerreotype—an earlier process on silver-plated copper invented in 1839—but was faster and cheaper to produce.
