A few weeks ago on this thread, I mentioned something called a Daguerreotype which was amongst my mother's possessions and I promised some pictures of it for those who were interested so here they are.

A Daguerreotype was the earliest commercially available 'photograph' but the process was complicated. The photographic medium was a silver plated piece of copper which was highly polished and sprayed with a light sensitive fluid. The finished image was quite vulnerable so was protected by a piece of glass which was also vulnerable so every one was provided with its own velvet lined box. They were popular from about 1840 to 1860 when they were replaced almost overnight by cheaper processes.

This image is approx 75mm x 60mm and the yellow colour would have been painted on by hand. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the 2 people in the picture but if it was taken in the late 1840s and if they are part of my direct family line, the woman is likely to be my great-great-great-grandmother who would have been born about 200 years ago.

Fabulous memories for you, and in such good condition.

Taken 30 years after Churchill had ordered armed troops into Tonypandy to force striking miners back to work and purportedly shot 11 of them in Tonypandy square with 2 rounds of rifle fire. Presumably all the others in that picture were Churchill's bodyguards then.
