Daguerreotype Apparatus

The entire Daguerreotype process is comprised in seven
distinct operations; viz:

1.--Cleaning and polishing the plate.

2.--Applying the sensitive coating.

3--Submitting the plate to the action of light in the camera.

4.--Bringing out the picture; in other words rendering it visible.

5.--Fixing the image, or making it perminent--so that the light
may no longer act upon it.

6.--Gilding:  or covering the picture with a thin film of gold--
which not only protects it, but greatly improves its distinctness
and tone of color.

7.--Coloring the picture.

For these various operations the following articles-- which make up the entire apparatus of a Daguerrean artist-- must be procured.

All the articles enumerated in this chapter may be obtained, of the very best quality and at the most reasonable rates, of Mr. E. Anthony, 205, Broadway, New York.
