Remaining records and photographs from this group were donated to the museum in 1998 when the group disbanded. Now the Powers Museum has a chance to host a mini version of this exhibit that discusses Louis Daguerre and the first photographic process. This is the first time any of these photographic images have been displayed at the Carthage museum. Visitors to the mini exhibit will receive an exhibit guide explaining the photographic process and the use of the photos to document various subjects in history. A few contemporary daguerreotype images are included in the exhibit as well.
Supplies are limited.
The Powers Museum is grateful to the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum for giving us this opportunity. The exhibit and brochure were originally sponsored by the Kirkpatrick Foundation, Inc. and we would like to acknowledge this foundation as well.
