"Examines how contemporary photographers and scientists understood the technology of the daguerreotype, the first photographic method, used from 1839 to the mid-1850s. Details the modern explanation of its mechanics and reviews the current means of image preservation and restoration. Of interest to historians of technology, and those involved with preservation efforts." -- Book News
"Contains more information than any book that has ever come out on the daguerreotype. And it isn't all technical information; over half of the book is filled with diligent photo-historical research with lots of information on individual daguerreotypists and their work." -- Daguerreian Society Newsletter
"Barger and White's book will attract readers interested in the history of early photography and nineteenth-century technology. It provides indispensable information for collectors and restorers. The paperback edition will contribute to the preservation of photography's heritage." -- Joseph Wachelder, Ambix
