J.E. Mayall (1813–1901) opened his first daguerreotype studio in Philadelphia in the early 1840s. He soon moved to Great Britain, where he helped found the American Daguerreotype Association in London. In 1851, he established his own studio in the British capital, photographing Queen Victoria and members of the royal family throughout the 1860s. He is also known for his portraits of Karl Marx and Dickens.
The daguerreotype was the first photographic process, developed by Nicéphore Niépce and later Louis Daguerre, and introduced to the world (except the United Kingdom) by France in 1839. It is both a negative and a positive, hence its characteristic mirror effect. In the 19th century, they were also poetically called "mirrors that remember."
