The process of creating Daguerreotypes
revolutionized the world of portraiture and was met with excitement in
America almost immediately. The announcement of the creation of
daguerreotypy was first published in American newspapers in February
1839.[6] The first daguerreotype studio was opened in New York in 1841 and an article published in The Pittsburgh Gazette on 3 May 1841 claims “Daguerreotype portraits have given so much satisfaction to the lovers of fine arts in the city.”[7]
