c1850 Daguerreotype of an American Gold Miner<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. The Daguerreian Society is a scholarly organization more dedicated to the first photographic process than even France, the home of Louis Daguerre!<\/p>\n

This is obvious from the effort expended in its Symposiums, Annuals, and Quarterlies (the 28 page DSQ 31–2 quarterly for April-June 2019 has just been issued to members). While I would be delighted to publish a copy here, its Mission Statement<\/a> clearly states “… Quarterly<\/em> for its members …”<\/p>\n

If you are a member, you have already received this quarterly via \u00a0email or will shortly via snail mail. Want to join, or learn more? Visit their web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The above image is featured on the cover of DSQ 31-2 and is a fine example of a hand coloured Daguerreotype. Processes well into the 20th century were monochromatic. Colour was possible using special processes. And slides like the c1900 Autochromes and their competition did capture colour – sort of. Around the beginning of the second world war, and after, colour processes of far higher quality – like the 1935 Kodachrome – \u00a0came to market.<\/p>\n

Today, modern smartphones and other digital cameras make the creation of colour images so simple a child can shoot them (my granddaughter, all of eight years old, told me quietly \u00a0this week that she is saving up at least $500 dollars for a good camera that will work with her iPad).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
