  The research archive of Gary W. Ewer regarding the history of the daguerreotype

On this day (December 17) in the year 1850, the following brief advertisement appeared in the "Boston Daily Evening Transcript": - - - - - - - - - - A DAGUERREOTYPE is nature's true penciling-- Shadow of a form by friendship held dear; Picture of the soul's dwelling-- Token of love for Christmas and New Year. Dec 17 1p CHASE. * * * * * * * * A note from Gary: I received a few responses regarding the Plumbe advertisement posted in the 12-8-96 DagNews. I've added the comments to that particular day's post and have made the file available (along with all previous DagNews messages) on The Daguerreian Society's web site at: http://www.daguerre.org/resource/dagnews/dagnews.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- 12-17-96
