* Louis Daguerre and his Daguerreotype
* Invention of photography
Certainly the prime content in this issue is the very historic and early front page report on the invention of photography, headed: "The Daguerrotipe".
The text takes takes two-thirds of a column and begins: "You have perhaps heard of the Daguerrotipe,so called from the discoverer, M. Daguerre. It is one of the most beautiful discoveries of the age..." with much, much more on this historic invention.
Page 3 has a short report headed: "The Mormons" noting in part: "Great numbers of this unfortunate sect...are encamped near Quincy, Illinois, in a state of destitution of the necessaries of life. The sufferings they endured in Missouri are heart-rending..." and a bit more.
Four pages, very nice condition.
