Industry Reviews
"Any doubts about the importance of the daguerreotype to visual life in the United States in the 19th century are thoroughly laid to rest with this collection of some of the most beautiful, powerful and mysterious images ever made with a camera. No matter whether the genre was portraiture, landscape or still life, American daguerreotypists in the 1840s and 50s produced remarkable pictures that almost literally made the world stand still...'Secrets of the Dark Chamber' brings this often overlooked chapter in the development of modern camera culture to center stage, and its claims for the importance of the daguerreotype are by no means modest...Here, in evanescent miniature, are mirrored some of the 19th century's major preoccupations: dignifying the individual, conquering nature, inventing new machines, inventorying possessions, preserving family memory by photographing the dead."
New York Times Book Review - Andy Grundberg (12/03/1995)
