Isn't that a grand image? I hesitated to use it, because the quote is by another person; however, Poe's life, reputation, struggles, and imminent death just felt like a perfect fit. As well, the daguerreotype was damaged when someone who was in possession of it tried to "clean" it, if you can even imagine. All factors seem to contribute to the chilling yet intriguing circumstances described in the quote.

Kate Morgan Reade: Thank you for sharing!
It is so heartwarming to see the great poet in life! You can sense his breathing, his feelings.

Kate Morgan Reade: Even with the scratches, the daguerreotype is magnificent.
There is also daguerreotype of Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt . . . I really love seeing the greats in the 19th c. arts as they were in life.
So do I! Such ambiance, as it were.
