| Daguerreobase launched! | | Print | |

The Daguerreobase is presented to the public this week. This happens on two locations: the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam on March 6, and Huis Marseille in Amsterdam on March 7, 2009. Both museums present daguerreotype exhibitions. The Nederlands Fotomuseum shows a selection of Dutch daguerreotypes from different collection in the exhibition All Is Vanity. Huis Marseille has the Enschedé collection on display, with portraits of members of the famous Dutch printing family. This collection contains some of the earliest known photographs in Holland. We hope the Daguerreobase will evolve into an active community for those interested in daguerreotypes. Please feel free to roam the archive and look for objects that are rarely put on display. Or compare your own daguerreotype to those in institutional collections. |
