[Audio] Today I will be talking about how pictures and arts where like in the Victorian era.. 

Scene 1

How picture or art where like when  queen Victorian was alive`

[Audio] Did you know Victorian photographers used daguerreotype and it was a type of picture style that was invented by Louis Daguerre. It also made it possible to capture the image seen inside a camera obscura and preserve it as an object.. 

Scene 2

Victorian Photographers Used the Daguerreotype

Daguerreotype a photograph taken by an early photographic process employing an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor. It was  used in 1840’s and 1850’s It was invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre

[Audio] Photographing dead people may seem like a ghastly task. But in the 19th century, deceased subjects were often easier to capture on film than living ones , because they weren't able to move and due to the slow shutter speed of early cameras, subjects had to remain still to create crisp images.. 

Scene 3

Due to the sheer number of diseases and death back in that time, most photos taken were of the deceased. Families took these macabre prints as the last opportunity to have a permanent image of their beloved. The entire household, including the domesticated animals like dogs and cats, would gather around the dead, and they would be posed as if asleep. Creepy, eh?

[Audio] All or some of us like to smile in picture but people in the Victorian time did not smile in their picture due to holding it for a long period of time and so people grimaced or looked serious.. 

Scene 4

As most photos were taken amidst times of grief, it was difficult for folks to smile. Additionally, the time it took for the camera to actually take the photo was quite long. Therefore, it was necessary for the people being photographed to remain very still to avoid blurry photos. They would often pose for about 15 minutes, during which it would be practically impossible to hold a smile. Furthermore, smiles were not that common, as the Queen had made mourning fashionable before she had passed on.

[Audio] Unlike how people take photos for 1-2 Hours. The Victorian era took photos for 15 minutes because it took several minutes to take a photo because cameras relied on slow chemical reactions and If subjects moved at all, the image turned out blurry.. 

Scene 5

The daguerreotype was the primary method of photography used in this era, as it took the shortest time compared to all other methods (not that there were many options.) It took at least 15 minutes to take a single snapshot! In comparison, the first photograph took eight hours, so 15 minutes was nothing.

[Audio] So you have learn how photos were like in Victorian era. The end and joppapower..
