This exhibition catalogue CD-ROM includes essays by eight scholars that discuss not only the history and art of the daguerreotype but also its effect on the economics of Paris from 1839 to 1850, its presence in anthropology, and its eventual decline in the 1850s. Also included on the CD-ROM are a video introduction by Curator Malcolm Daniel, catalogue entries and color images of works from the exhibition, a computer animation on the daguerreotype process, an anthology of historical documents, a chronology, a bibliography, and an index of names and terms.
