I am going to have to revert[edit]

Thread retitled from "I am going to have to revert the text here to my original. There was a link to Daguerre's Diorama that has disappeared. The article in the Journal des artistes (1835) article does NOT discuss the daguerreotype and Hannavy (given as reference) does not say it does either".

Article text now:

After experimenting with the process with Dumas for five years, Daguerre began producing daguerreotypes around 1834. He announced his invention to the Journal des artistes on 27 September 1835.^[1] A review discussing the process entitled "La Vallée de Goldau" reads:

The review does not discuss the process at all. It is a review of a specific Diorama exhibition (La Vallé de Godau]] It is a picturesque valley in Switzerland, and you need to know something about Daguerre's Diorama to understand the context and the link to Daguerre's Diorama has disappeared.

The paragraph from the 1835 article in Journal des artistes which I translated from the French, has the first known mention of daguerreotypy in print (1835), is completely irrelevant to the review and is tacked onto the end of it - "a veiled reference"

The point of this was that some people confuse the public announcement of daguerreotypy (1839) with its invention. The invention was clouded in secrecy and some clues about how it progressed can be gathered from Daguerre's and Niépce's correspondence. RPSM (talk) 16:10, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the 1835 text in no way justifies saying that Daguerre "announced" his process to the Journal des artistes, or to anyone else except in strict confidence. It is only presented as an intriguing rumor. 66.81.245.248 (talk) 23:40, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

link to useful reference tracing what mozi and the ancient Greeks knew about the 'camera obscura[edit]

(ignore footnotes below, I can't get rid of them).

FYI: footnotes can be made to appear at the end of the relevant section, rather than confusingly at the end of the most recent section, by putting "reflist-talk" (using double curled brackets in place of the quotation marks) at the end of that section. 66.81.247.155 (talk) 06:58, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

More citations ??[edit]

150 notes down there and more citations are required since dec. 2016 ? Could someone show the reader where are missing citations & problems, in order to work it out, thks. --Marc-AntoineV (talk) 10:37, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What was the role of Wollcott's mirror camera in early daguerreotype portraiture (eg in Beard's rooftop operation in the Regent Street Polytechnic?[edit]

Why has Woolcott's camera disappeared from the article? RPSM (talk) 11:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is the purpose of the redundant word "daguerreotype" in the first sentence?[edit]

Did someone change a variant spelling to be the same as the initial version? Lexaxis7 (talk) 18:45, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should the invention of photography be a separate article?[edit]

This article is about Daguerreotype photography--which is a big subject in itself. But it wanders off into talking about the "Who invented photograph?" controversy. Whoever that was, it wasn't Louis Daguerre (as both Beaumont Newhall and Watson & Rappaport make clear). Mgryan (talk) 19:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
