American Daguerreian Art by Floyd and Marion Rinhart. This book is a comprehensive and scholarly survey of the work of daguerreotype artists. Starting with a generous sampling of portraits, the authors show that some artists were actually able to introduce color into the process. The career of Levi Hill is covered, as are samples of his work. The authors also show a number of landscapes, including examples of the decoration of miniature cases. There are brief biographies of all notable artists, a selected bibliography and an index.
