My analysis of the Franklin Expedition daguerreotypes, particularly the provenance of the two sets. Plus an overview of all the different versions, side-by-sides, & the Illustrated London News and Gleason's Pictorial engravings. Would love to hear what you all think!

"6 Antique Daguerreotype Photos Gold Filled Case Picture Frame Folding Accordion"
-eBay
I have never seen a collection of daguerreotypes like this before! I wish I could have this in my collection!
This is most likely a fairly wealthy family, consisting of Father, Mother + new baby (middle), second eldest daughter, twin sisters [or of similar age] (left), two sons, eldest daughter (right)
late 1850s

hi, lost! have you ever watched "the terror"?
We interrupt regular Eruri transmission to answer a rare Age of Sail ask ⚓
I have watched The Terror, and I have to confess I am ... not a huge fan. It's very, very well done, has an excellent cast, and brilliantly evokes the claustrophobia of the ships and the relentlessness of the ice. My main objection was the supernatural elements. I understand what the author was trying to do by interweaving indigenous mythology with the fate of the Franklin expedition, but I didn't think it really worked. The actual fate of the historical expedition was utterly tragic, the inevitable consequences of imperial hubris and naval arrogance. Introducing a supernatural monster to instil horror seems superfluous. Also while I am a fan of historical fiction, I'm a bit uneasy about the lives of real people being dramatised in this way, particularly when they died such horrific deaths.
Coincidentally, a rare collection of portrait daguerreotypes of the officers of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror came up for auction this week. It's hard looking at these faces knowing their fate.

Bought an ambrotype and a daguerreotype today! I've wanted some for a couple years now and these were only $35 each thanks to their unfortunate condition.
This is an ambrotype, a single portrait case with the clasp still functional! She's fading a bit, allowing us to see through to the black underneath, which gives her an incredible 3D effect. The case has no hinge, only a strip of adhesive.

The second one is a daguerreotype and she's difficult to get a picture of because she's so pale, the mirrored surface beneath shows through when photographed head on, so I have to take pictures of it from an angle, but despite that you can still see the floral pattern on her dress.

In these next pictures you can see that someone poked holes to help highlight the details of her collar, and you can see the iridescent discoloration around the edge. You can also see the really lovely detail on the case.

The final one I wanted to share isn't one I bought, since it was $285, but it was in such perfect condition I'm not surprised at the price. I only got one picture of it since it was in a display case, but it must've been stored in incredible conditions to look so perfect now. Really impressive piece, but I find the imperfections of the inexpensive ones so charming. I wouldn't mind picking up one this nice in the future, but only if I find the subjects particularly intriguing.

Part 2 of my Franklin Expedition daguerreotypes article including a short review of the Sotheby's exhibition, pics + vids, and some more on daguerreotypes being reversed or not. I did not solve anything, but enjoy anyway!
