Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre invented the daguerreotype process in France. The invention was announced to the public on August 19, 1839 at a meeting of the French Academy of Sciences in Paris. American photographers quickly capitalized on this new invention, which was capable of capturing a "truthful likeness."

I can't stand this kind of stuff! >:() The kooks of auctions 1 & 3 give real Christians a bad name. Oh sure, God gave him a vision to sell a rock for $33 million dollars! Well, God just gave me a vision that all shack members need to send me thier SS boxes. Any takers? ::) The cloud thing is just stupid. Oh well Sharon, at least we learned what a daguerrotype is.
