Daguerreotype Portraits From 1839

Experience the dawn of photography! Step back into 1839 and recreate an authentic daguerreotype captured using the legendary Giroux Daguerreotype Camera paired with a Chevalier lens. Get instant results from the historic process of exposing a 6.5 x 8.5-inch highly polished silver-plated copper plate, sensitized with iodine vapor to form silver iodide. The best part is you don't have to sit still for 15 minutes or labor over mercury vapor! Works well with any subject :).
