Not a photograph of Harrison

[edit]

This is not a photograph of Harrison, it is a circa 1850 daguerreotype of an oil painting depicting William Henry Harrison. "A startlingly lifelike daguerreotype showing Harrison, made by the Boston photography studio Southworth and Hawes around 1850 and now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a reproduction of an oil portrait, not of a photograph."[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuckerresearch (talk • contribs) 23:21, 31 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
