<p>[QUOTE="TraceyB, post: 2966095, member: 17017"][USER=33]@Figtree3[/USER] I have done further research and I believe the images below (apart from the one of two pics) are daguerreorypes. They are positive images under glass that I need to tilt to see the image. When they are flat on the bench I can see myself - a bit like a mirror. I think the image of the two together are ambrotypes. The one of the man I think is definitely an ambrotype because the glass on the back has been blacked out and the one of the woman and child (I can't see the back) doesn't appear to be reflective like the dags.</p><p>How did I go <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie97" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie97" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie97" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]288059[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]288055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]288056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]288057[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]288058[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
