A Hand-Coloured Stereoscopic Daguerreotype of Mrs Antoine Claudet, with, Probably, Her Mother-In-Law, Taken at the Studio of Antoine Claudet (1797-1867). In 1839, the Daguerreotype, Invented by Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, Became the First Photographic Process to Be Announced to the Public. A Highly-Polished Silver Surface on a Copper Plate Was Sensitised to Light by Exposing It to Iodine Fumes. After Exposing the Plate in a Camera It Was Developed with Mercury Vapour.

A Stereograph Is a Pair of Photographs Which, When Viewed through a Stereoscope, Give the Appearance of Three-Dimensional Depth. National Media Museum / Science & Society Picture Library.
