The daguerreotype is a direct-positive picture taking process used in the old days. process, creating a highly detailed image on a sheet of copper plated with a thin coat of silver without the use of a negative. The process required great care. The silver-plated copper plate had first to be cleaned and polished until the surface looked like a mirror. Next, the plate was sensitized in a closed box over iodine until it took on a yellow-rose appearance. The plate, held in a lightproof holder, was then transferred to the camera. After exposure to light, the plate was developed over hot Mercury until an image appeared. To fix the image, the plate was immersed in a solution of sodium thiosulfate or salt and then toned with gold chloride. See below for more-

1830's I think
It was an early form of photograph.
The daguerreotype.
its a price
The daguerreotype was the first photographic process and dominated the photographic world till the invention of other processes. It was a chemical process where a fragile image was formed on a silvered copper plate.
daguerreotype is one of the earliest photographic processes, in which the image was produced on iodine-sensitized silver and developed in mercury vapour

because there is nothing that can go beyond that!
