<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cindy MotZ, post: 106267, member: 1508&quot;]When Daguerre announced his process, he gave it to certain countries, but not the British, perpetuating the historical animosity.&nbsp; (Talbot came up with his own paper base process using the paper as a negative, then contact printing with that.)&nbsp; If a British subject wanted to make daguerreotypes, they had to buy the patent, thus there aren&#039;t very many daguerreotypes there.&nbsp; Some are &quot;boot legged&quot; though.&nbsp; As for the frame, it seems to be old, though I can&#039;t be positive.&nbsp; If it&#039;s &quot;perfect&quot;, someone may have used to original hardware to hang it.&nbsp; Does the glass have &quot;waves&quot; in it?&nbsp; (Don&#039;t you love being a &quot;history detective?)&nbsp; As for the low tack tape, there&#039; something called filmoplast p 90 that can be used as it&#039;s archival.&nbsp; (There&#039;s a filmoplast p that&#039;s used in books, that almost disappears.)&nbsp; Just search for it online.&nbsp; It can be removed, very carefully, within 24 hours if necessary. </p><p>Sorry for the double post.&nbsp; Thought I had to sign up before it would be posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
