I could look at Daguerreotypes for days. This is from such an early period of time, it's like opening a little window into such a dreamy and mysterious age. When I was younger I wasn't aware that there were any clear pictures from before the civil war. I was blown away to see stuff like this. To me, the further back in time you go, the more beautiful the people are. I can see their lives in their faces. So very captivating. Thanks for posting!!!!
Excellent video. I saw an exhibit of French daguerreotypes and many of them were of seemingly casual poses and disappearing urban elements; but few American dags I have seen have these qualities. People relish Southworth and Hawes for creating fairy-tale beautiful dags whose flattery approaches that of a painted miniature. I like S&H; but I much prefer the Easterly dags. Some American dags are scientific or historical, but Easterly's are above and beyond in my eyes.

Thank you. This guy was way ahead of his time. I've always been interested in any photos before the Civil War.
