The unidentified 'armed' young man was quite handsome!
-
Looking at these is like a time machine. The first photos of people. Just is amazing.
-
Stunning clarity...many of them look so modern...wonderful
-
Many of these people were born in the late 1700s. Awesome.
-
I could look at these all day, it's so interesting looking back in time..

Look up Robert Cornelius, I live in Philadelphia about six blocks from where his Mansion once stood. March 2020

The man holding the Daguerreotypes is a photographer displaying his work. I think I have seen him in a post mortem one holding a dead child. These images seem otherwordly and I could look at them for hours. Their faces are so intense probably due to having to remain still for the exposure time. Check out a British book "The Sunday Times History of Photographs" it also has some incredible images. Thanks for sharing.

Superb. I had no idea daguerreotypes could be so vivid.
-
It's so crazy to think that not only is everyone in these photos dead, but that their children and grandchildren are dead too.
-
It's quite possible the sleeping child is in fact dead. It was not uncommon to take "sleeping" photos of deceased children.

OMG The handsome man at 0:25 is a rarity. You usually don't see such hot looking people from the 1800s. or even the early 20th century. His face is timeless.
-
Almost two centuries ago. Not to mention some of them were born in the late 1700. For the first time in history, humans can see the exact face of humans who lived right generations before them.
-
There are more pix uploaded to Facebook every 2 minutes than all of the photos taken in the 1800s combined
-
The He-man haircut seemed to be very popular in the 1840s! Great pictures, thanks!
-
The man with the calculating machine looks just like Stephen Collins.
-
No Daguerrotype photos have surfaced in my Family tree, so far. But I did come upon a "Tin-type" photo, which was much more affordable, taken of my 3rd Gr8 Grandfather's family in the early 1860s. Either way, priceless! Thanks for posting these!

4:13 I've seen this family portrait before and admire it's immediacy and warm feeling. This obviously a close knit loving family that in their enviable innocence are living in a time where the Civil War is still a decade and a half in the future, and the idea of a "world war" yet to happen during the 2nd decade of the next century would have been inconceivable.
-
No blond women? Obviously, they were not dyeing their hair blond back then. Which is why they look so beautiful and classy!
-
Pretty spectacular to see the looks of the people two centuries past from our time.
