Re: Digital restoration of the Fontayne and Porter 1848 Daguerreotype of the Cincinnati waterfront
I hope Captain Way is smiling. Guessing 2 PM and finding 1:55 on the clock is fairly amazing.

My wife went to a conference where the people who did this work gave a talk, and they had parts of the thing blown up to a huge size on a projection screen. She said it was amazing. Some lady had her drawers hanging out to dry on a line the day of the picture, and they were immortalized.

Sent. “The sixth gun is the bully boy.”
Received. “Can you give it any directions to make it more bully?”
Sent. “Last shot was little to the right.”
Received. “Fearfully hot here. Several men sunstruck. Bullets whiz like fun. Have ceased firing for awhile, the guns are so hot."
