The surface of a daguerreotype is like a mirror, with the image made directly on the silvered surface; it is very fragile and can be rubbed off with a finger, and the finished plate has to be angled so as to reflect some dark surface in in order to view the image properly.The Picture measures at 3 1/4 x 2 3/4 inches.IMPORTANT Freaquently.
