Editorial Reviews

Review

"Represents a new celebration of daguerreian art, and, even more emphatically, an episodic record of its social role. The reproduced images, many in color, and each carefully annotated, are superb, and serve to remind us how old certain pictorial conventions really were that turn-of-the-century photographers regarded as their original creations....The book can be safely recommended to photo historians of all interests and inclinations; to daguerreotype lovers it is an absolute must." -- History of Photography

"The daguerreotype lives on through John Wood's continued passionate exploration of the earliest of photographic processes....In this [his] second book he successfully attempts to portray a visual picture of America between 1840 and 1860 within a social, economic, and historical context....A fascinating volume, with articulate essays and extraordinary illustrations." -- Choice
