#12: Theodore Maurisset France 1803-1860 La daguerreotypomanie 1839 lithograph, applied colour 25.4 x 35.1 cm Courtesy George Eastman House, Rochester. "French cartoon about the rush to try photography after Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre revealed his process in 1839.
Print shows long lines of people waiting to be photographed and others eager to support the craze by providing training and a vast array of photographic equipment, provided by the Maison Susse Frères. Several men hanging from gallows, "Potences à louer pour MM les graveurs," represent the death of the art of copying the nature (realism) in the birth of photography. A balloon hovers in the air with a large camera as its basket." This cartoon published in December 1839 comments on the craze for photography. Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre's cameras and technical manuals had already left Marseille in September 1839 aboard Captain Augustin Lucas's private naval expedition ship bound for South America and the Asia-Pacific.
