1848 photos of Cincinnati

By now you've heard of the restoration work done on the daguerrotypes of Cincinnati in 1848. Right now I'm reading this article on wired.com about them. Now I want to make daguerrotypes. Impractical, I know, but look at the detail on those things.

And to think when I was a kid someone had a similar image of one of someone, perhaps one of my ancestors. But it was probably thrown away as worthless decades ago.
