Louis Jacques Daguerre<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Daguerre<\/a> was a scenic painter and creator of dioramas. He wanted to find a way to capture scenes and have a record from which to paint the scene for a diorama much later. When he learned Niepce was also trying to capture scenes, he joined forces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Niepce died, Daguerre through many experiments settled on using sensitized silver plates. He finally\u00a0realized the virtue of the latent image and a means to develop it. He discovered that mercury fumes would bring out the latent image and a salt bath would render the resulting image impervious to light.<\/p>\n

He arranged for his process (the Daguerreotype<\/a>), which took just minutes to record a subject in the camera, to be announced on January 7, 1839 by French scientist Fran\u00e7ois Arago. And in return for a pension of 6,000 francs for him and a pension of 4,000 francs for his late partner’s nephew, Isidore Niepce, from France, he published his process for free use world wide – except England where its use required a licence.<\/p>\n

NOTE<\/strong>: Over a century and a half later Daguerre’s mirror with a memory<\/em> is still crisp, clear, and high resolution – drop in to our Image Show<\/a> this Sunday and pick up one or a few!<\/p>\n
