The first two pages of my 2022 essay, "Daguerrean Yachts and Floating Palaces: Early American Photography Boats." The left page shows a horizontal daguerreotype in an oval gold frame and pictures a long river flatboat with large lettering that says "Gorgas' Daguerrean Boat." It is tied up along a dirt river bank. The right page shows my introductory text to the essay.

Did you know that some of the earliest photography studios in America were on boats? Learn more about when and where they traveled in my essay from 2022.
