    Bought this on ebay and could barely even see the photo the glass had deteriorated so bad. Turned out amazingly! Took all about 5 minutes as well.

    She's fabulous. Great spectacles :)
    Not sure why but she looks like she should be wearing a wedding ring. No reason at all, it just caught my eye.

    Thanks guys! As for how I did it I dont want to give exact details myself but there are guides online. But essentially just replacing the glass and getting all the dust out.

    I don't want to be responsible for giving out instructions that someone may attempt and mess up a daguerreotype is all.... This is where I started off however, http://vieilalbum.com/Tech01US.htm
