Re: composite dag

Since there are no  negatives involved in the process, as best as I can determine the original  daguerrotype portraits were made, arranged as a group, and then  photographed together, producing a composite image (about 6" x 9", which
 is pretty large for this type of item).
I've never seen anything like this before with early photographs. Has  anyone come across this sort of thing before?<

  I just ran across two 1/6 dags, each composed of 9 framed dags, on ebay.  They were apparently laid out and then copied, such as many single copy dags made.
