Photographic processing did not begin with George Eastman’s innovations. In fact, daguerreotype photography had been all the rag
e since the early 1840s. Daguerreotype used highly polished silver plates to create images, a look that is still recognizable today. Shiny, grey features are almost burned into the paper as they were pressed onto the silver plate. The silver plate, however, was easily scratched, so photographers had to handle it with care and give it a final polish before inserting into the camera. And taking the photograph usually took several minutes of light exposure, during which time subjects often moved and created blurry lines.
