June 17, 2016 – June 4, 2017 - This exhibition will showcase fourteen daguerreotypes—two portraits each—of seven subjects. By featuring two portraits of each famous sitter, the exhibition will encourage visitors to consider the ways in which various daguerreotypists approached the same subject and how different the results could be. In addition to discussing the early history of portrait photography, the accompanying text will compare images made for public consumption with those produced as personal keepsakes.
