daguerreotype editorial spreads
The daguerreotype is an under-appreciated memento to history. It has fallen into myth and taboo thanks to the physicality contained in and surrounding them. The unwavering eyes without a smile, the layers of chemistry, and the unattached names that render it a disowned relic found in antique shops.
This two-page spread is designed around Oliver Holmes' 1859 essay on the chemical creation of daguerreotypes and utilizes that mystery and subject matter previously stated to enhance the article.
