Daguerreotype of a Nun in a Coffin
We just returned from the annual Daguerreian Society Symposium in Atlanta. As always it was an enjoyable and educational experience. My birthday was the week before and I said I wanted to find my gift at the symposium trade show. OK, I accept that it is more than a bit creepy that I picked a sixth plate daguerreotype of an elderly nun in her coffin.
There were many beautiful daguerreothpes that I would have loved but post mortem and memorial images seem to be our current emphasis.
