\"Early-American-Dag-sm\"<\/a>Toronto<\/strong>. I received an email courtesy of the Daguerreian Society this past week announcing a book and signing (earlier today) by author Sarah Kate Gillespie down in Washington D.C. The book sounds like it would be of interest to our members.<\/p>\n

THE EARLY AMERICAN DAGUERREOTYPE,
\nTALK, BOOK SIGNING, AND OBJECTS OUT OF STORAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, May 27, 2016, 12\u00a0–\u00a01:30pm<\/strong>
\n Presidential Reception Suite, first floor<\/strong>
\n National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution<\/strong>

\n Washington, DC<\/strong><\/p>\n

The daguerreotype was patented in France in 1839, but by 1851 this early photographic method had been so improved by American daguerreotypists that it was often referred to as “the American process.”<\/p>\n

In a talk based on her new book,\u00a0The Early American Daguerreotype: Cross-Currents in Art and Technology<\/i>, author\u00a0Sarah Kate Gillespie<\/b>\u00a0will\u00a0recount the activities of the unexpected mix of fine artists, scientists, and mechanical tinkerers who transformed the daguerreotype into a new\u00a0 way to see the world.<\/p>\n

After the talk, National Museum of American History curator\u00a0Shannon Perich<\/b>\u00a0will show rare daguerreotypes from the Museum’s collections. Gillespie will sign copies of\u00a0The Early American Daguerreotype<\/i>, which will be available for sale.<\/p>\n

Presented by the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.\u00a0 For more information, please visit the\u00a0Lemelson Center’s website<\/a>\u00a0or email\u00a0lemcen@si.edu.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
