Daguerreotype
Invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre and introduced worldwide in 1839, daguerreotype was almost completely superseded by 1860 with new, less expensive processes yielding more readily viewable images. In the late 20th century, there was a revival of daguerreotypy by a small number of photographers interested in making artistic use of early photographic processes.
Lucian R. Foster
Foster brought the daguerreotype to Nauvoo, Illinois shortly after its introduction and produced the first photographic images of Nauvoo and its citizens from 1844 to 1846.
