Daguerreotype of unidentified woman by Matthew Brady

GUILAIN writes from France:

I enjoyed your article on family hiking. I’ve seen a video of Mount Washington in winter. It is very impressive and I wouldn’t climb up there unless someone would promise me tons of candies.

On another note, I think you will find this collection of daguerreotypes in The Atlantic interesting.

It is a very staged portrait though. (I mean the one at the top of the post.)
