Portrait of Dorothy Draper and the first photograph
A historical note recalls Dorothy Catherine Draper posing for the first photographic portrait after Daguerre's discovery. Her brother John W. Draper, NYU professor, took the image in 1839 using sunlight on silver. The portrait, dusted with powder, is linked to early photographic history and later owned by Lord Herschel's heirs.
