But the daguerreotype before us today, which is a portrait of a cavalry captain, is no ordinary daguerreotype, it is a estereodaguerrotipo, ie it is designed to create a 3D effect. In fact it is presented in a beautiful box that includes the viewer to see the 3D image. Once you mounted viewfinder you could see through it as shown in this photograph. In the viewfinder, leather, embossed appears in the name of the optical Josef Rospini, so this product would have made thanks to the collaboration of Strezek and Rospini. The author of the daguerreotype is Franz K. Strezek (Strečeck), photographer born in Prague to 1807 or 1809. Strezek moved to Vienna with his brother Thomas and began experimenting with daguerreotypes since its launch in 1839-1840. From 1844 the brothers in charge of the study of C. Schuh were made and already in 1854 began with the production of estereodaguerrotipos. It was one of the most successful portraits daguerrógrafos Vienna in the 1850s and subsequently often colored the plates by hand. From the 1860s he began taking photographs of views without much success, which ultimately led him, along with the appearance of the carte de visite, working as an assistant in another study and eventually abandon photography in the 1870s . Although he ended his days completely depleted, the time has given him his place in the history of Austrian photography and his work has been shown in several exhibitions. As always, this daguerreotype so special and many other photographic objects are available at the museum. Hope you enjoy the weekend!
Remember what exactly a daguerreotype ? Already in the statement 202, back in May 2018, I talked about Louis Daguerre, creator of the daguerreotype, and his wonderful invention. The daguerreotype was the first photographic process officially announced and released in 1839 at the Academy of Sciences of France and with a huge impact . The work of Daguerre continued the initiated by another French scientist: Niépce
the daguerreotype is considered the first successful process of history to take pictures . To get a daguerreotype was necessary to expose a copper plate silver to iodine vapor to make it photosensitive, then with mercury vapors were generated silver amalgams and mercury which gave rise to the developed image.
But the daguerreotype before us today, which is a portrait of a cavalry captain, is no ordinary daguerreotype is a estereodaguerrotipo, ie, which is intended to create a 3D effect .
