Re: AAT -- Daugerrotypes



Hi Deborah,

Here is the relevant AAT entry:

Descriptor: daguerreotypes
Term ID: 127181
Hierarchy: Visual Works [VC]

Scope note - Photographs made by the process called daguerreotype, which
produces a direct positive image on a silver-coated copper plate. They are
often mounted in special cases lined with red velvet or leather.

Alternate Forms of Speech {ALT}:
daguerreotype

Hope this helps,

Susie
