•base of a daguerreotype is a silver-coated plate of copper

•In the first years, sitting for a daguerreotype required being exposed to light for five to seventy minutes.

•photographers often used an adjustable pole with a two-pronged "fork" called the "Jenny Lind Posing Headrest," to keep the subject's head still during the long exposure.

•Rosy cheeks and the shimmer of jewelry were often hand painted onto the image before it was matted, covered in glass, and placed in a decorative case.
