Simpson put (piicksilver in an iron or tin dish, and beneath the dish placed a lighted lamp. He laid the plate (held in place by its shield) face down over the dish, sufficiently enclosed to insure the proper action of the vapor. Thus suffused, the image which the sun's rays had imprinted upon the coating of iodine, it was expected, would be revealed or brought out. After due time and patient waiting the plate was removed from its vapor bath and, "Eureka!" the artist had his reward! He had inde...ed succeeded in making what he has the best of reasons for believing was the first daguer- reotype picture ever produced in Lowell. It was far from perfect or even a good specimen of the art, but the 184 OLD residents' historical association, likeness was there ! But remember the apparatus and the advantages for doing this work ! It would be interesting could the scene, with all the crude implements employed, be reproduced. There was not in all but one article (the lens) which could be made useful for anything more than this experimental trial; and it seems strange that the artist was able to produce anything approaching a likeness, which he certainly did, and his first daguerreotype — some- what faded and scarce discernible uoav from the influence of accumulating and corroding years — is still in existence.
