{"product_id":"antique-daguerreotype-portrait-victorian-woman","title":"Antique Daguerreotype Portrait Victorian Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA striking daguerreotype portrait capturing a Victorian woman from the 1840s–1850s, seated in period dress. This early photographic treasure is housed in an ornate hinged case with leather or gutta-percha binding and luxurious red velvet lining.\n\nDaguerreotypes represent a pivotal moment in photographic history—the first process made commercially available to the public. Crafted from expensive silver and copper, each plate commanded the cost of a week's wages, making them precious keepsakes. Produced between 1840 and 1860, these images were eventually superseded by the more affordable ambrotype process, yet they remain among the most sought-after and historically significant photographs in existence.\n\nA remarkable piece for collectors of Victorian memorabilia and early photographic art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timeless Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53638357516629,"sku":"1105","price":80.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7560\/0725\/files\/Untitleddesign-2026-04-07T233053.598.png?v=1775601483","url":"https:\/\/timelesscollectables.co.uk\/products\/antique-daguerreotype-portrait-victorian-woman","provider":"TIMELESS COLLECTABLES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
