By the middle of the nineteenth century, the most common method of photography was the daguerreotype—Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre’s miraculous invention that captured in a camera visual images on a highly polished silver surface through exposure to light. In this book are presented nearly eighty masterpieces—many never previously published—from the J. Paul Getty Museum’s extensive daguerreotype collection.

History and the speculative collide with the modern world when a group of high school girls form a secret society after discovering they can communicate with boys from the past, in this powerful look at female desire, jealousy, and the shifting lines between friendship and rivalry. After her life is upended by divorce and a cross-country move, 16-year-old Saskia Brown feels like an outsider at her new school—not only is she a transplant, but she’s also biracial in a population of mostly white students. One day while visiting her only friend at her part-time library job, Saskia encounters a vial of liquid mercury, then touches an old daguerreotype—the precursor of the modern-day photograph—and makes a startling discovery. She is somehow able to visit the man in the portrait: Robert Cornelius, a brilliant young inventor from the nineteenth century. The hitch: she can see him only in her dreams. Saskia shares her revelation with some classmates, hoping to find connection and friendship among strangers. Under her guidance, the other girls steal portraits of young men from a local college’s daguerreotype collection and try the dangerous experiment for themselves. Soon, they each form a bond with their own “Mercury Boy,” from an injured Union soldier to a charming pickpocket in New York City. At night, the girls visit the boys in their dreams. During the day, they hold clandestine meetings of their new secret society. At first, the Mercury Boys Club is a thrilling diversion from their troubled everyday lives, but it’s not long before jealousy, violence and secrets threaten everything the girls hold dear.

Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ...I need not dwell upon the singularity of a chemical mode of action of light, which depends upon the velocity of its rays. The same day on which Mr. Edmund Becquerel presented to the Academy, the result of the experiment which I had proposed two years and ten months previously, I invited him publicly to renew it, under other conditions which seemed likely to throw a light upon the manner in which the velocity modifies the chemical action of light. I showed that the solar rays, moving faster and faster as they traversed a medium which is more or less refrangent, some useful result would be obtained by studying, comparatively and simultaneously, the action of the spectrum upon the iodized plate, immersed by halves in two very dissimilar media; in water and air, for example. Mr. Edmund Becquerel was kind enough to follow out this idea-The following is the letter which he wrote to me on the subject, dated 25th November, 1842. "When you had the kindness to present to the Academy of Sciences, in the month of June last, my memoir on the constitution of the solar spectrum, you were good enough to suggest to me an experiment which was yet to be made, in order to ascertain if when a substance, impressionable by the action of the solar rays, is immersed in a medium different to the air; the change of velocity of the solar rays, at their passage through this medium, would not alter the position of the lines, or transversal striae of the spectrum of the chemical rays. "I immediately applied myself to making these experiments, and began by using water as a new medium. My departure for the country forced me to interrupt them. I had intended to continue them, on my return, before making kno$?n the resu
