gaetano catelli Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Philippe de Montebello, director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, commented: "The invention of the daguerreotype�the earliest photographic process�forever altered the way we see and understand our world. No invention since Gutenberg's movable type had so changed the transmission of knowledge and culture, and none would have so great an impact again until the informational revolution of the late twentieth century." see: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/French_Daguerreotypes/dawn_more.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
