Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre invented the daguerreotype in 1839. A Daguerreotype is the first ever commercially successful photograph process; each image is produced on a silvered copper plate. You must use silver, iodine, light, and UV to produce the photograph. Some equipment needed to make a Daguerreotype are a box for treatment with mercury vapor, a tripod, boxes for fuming with iodine and bromine, a soft buckskin pad used for buffing the plates, and some silvered copper plates. John Herschal invented the Cyanotype in 1842. Cyanotypes are made with Potassium Ferricyanide and Ferric Ammonium Citrate. To create a cyanotype, you start by brushing a thin layer of emulation ONLY on the top of the paper and wait for it to dry, next you arrange your artwork onto the paper and take it outside to sit in the sun for 6-12 minutes, after that you fix/rinse your paper in water until you get all the yellow out, and lastly you fix it by rinsing it in water with hydrogen peroxide.
