It's so much fun doing research for my comic; which takes place in the mid-19th century. I happened to come across a really cool collection of Daguerreotypes from the Library of Congress website and thought I'd share a few of my favourite ones. I've attached a link to the site (at the bottom of this paragraph), if anyone would like to use it as a research tool. There's over 700 images available in this collection. Have fun!
