1843 Carey Daguerreotype Elizabeth Poem Poetry Sheridan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure from 1843 - the "DAGUERREOTYPE POEM". The lines of this enchanting ode were written by Miss Elizabeth Sheridan Carey, capturing her emotions upon seeing a daguerreotype portrait of a lady. The delicate engraving transports us back to the mid-19th century, where photography was still in its infancy. Daguerreotypists like Carey used their skill to immortalize moments and preserve memories through these early photographic techniques. Carey's poem beautifully expresses the wonder and awe she experienced when gazing at this particular daguerreotype portrait. Her words evoke a sense of admiration for the subject's beauty, as well as an appreciation for the artistry involved in creating such an image. Reprinted in an English newspaper of that time, this poetic masterpiece became widely known and cherished among readers who marveled at its eloquence. It serves as a testament to both Miss Carey's talent as a poet and her ability to capture the essence of visual art through her words. As we admire this exquisite print today, let us reflect on how far photography has come since those early days. It reminds us of the power that images hold - not only to freeze moments in time but also to inspire creativity and provoke deep emotions within us all.
