WHAT DOES DAGUERREOTYPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

daguerreotype

Daguerreotype

The daguerreotype /dəˈɡɛrɵtaɪp/ process, introduced in 1839, was the first publicly announced photographic process and the first to come into widespread use. By the early 1860s, later processes which were less costly and produced more easily viewed images with shorter exposure times had almost entirely replaced it. A small-scale revival of daguerreotypy among photographers interested in historical processes was increasingly evident in the 1980s and 1990s and has persisted into the 2010s. The daguerreotype image is formed on a highly polished silver surface, most commonly this is upon a metal substrate like copper, but in the 19th century brass was also used; daguerreotypes can also be made on pure silver sheets. There were two methods used in plating the silver to copper - electroplating and Sheffield plate where the silver and copper are bonded under pressure and with annealing. In the nineteenth century method of polishing the silver surface is polished with a buff using first rotten stone, then jeweler's rouge and then lampblack. By the light of a safelight the silvered plate is exposed to halogen gases.

Definition of daguerreotype in the English dictionary
