Furthermore, the original perpetrator and father of this mischief appears to have perpetuated himself, and still walks the street, at least, his very image, in mind and body, with the fairest prospect of transmitting to posterity as rich and as wretched an inheritance as he has received! Do you remember the daguerreotype, and its resemblance to the old portrait?"
Some operators use much rouge I would recommend the above in preference; but those who feel that they cannot dispense with the use of rouge, had better try a large addition of prepared lampblack to a small one of rouge, as this latter article, unless great pains be taken in its preparation, will adhere and work itself into the body of the surface, so that it cannot be removed therefrom; and I have seen many specimens of Daguerreotype very much injured in effect from this rouge tint disseminated throughout their shaded features, at the same time that the whole general effect of such pictures is that of a want of life.

"Let's have a look at it. I never had my picture taken in my life." The man held out a small solar print of a daguerreotype that David Jenison sat for the year before at college.
Why, come to think of it, I've got his likeness, took just before we was married. That'll show you whether he's the man you knew." As she spoke, she rose and opened the leather trunk in the corner by the closet door. After rummaging among its contents, she presently returned with a small oval daguerreotype in her hand.

Her pride was centred in her parlour and its mural decorations, which consisted principally of a large and varied assortment of funeral-cards, neatly framed and glazed. In addition to these there was a collection of family portraits in daguerreotype, including an interesting representation of Mrs.
Suppose you have your daguerreotype taken for me, will you?" Durward was in earnest, but with a playful shake of her brown curls, 'Lena answered lightly, "Oh, no, no.
