The article The Lion King (2019 film) has a few minor problems. For the most part it is primarily lacking in information, although since it is yet to be released this is understandable. The first sentence does not mention that the film is going to be a live-action remake of the 1994 animated film, so it would make more sense to include that information in the first sentence rather than the second. In the second sentence the article says that the original film was partially inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, although it doesn't include a link to a source confirming that connection. In the "Casting" section of the article the text mentions that three WWE wrestlers were reportedly interested in being in the film, but it fails to mention that they were interested in voicing the three hyenas in the movie.
Daguerreotype article draft
[edit]The introduction of the daguerreotype in the United States was primarily pioneered by the American artist Samuel Morse; it is possible that he may have been the first American to view a daguerreotype first-hand.[1] Morse's experience with art and technology in the early 1800s[1] attracted him to the the daguerreotype; in the summers of 1820 and 1821 he conducted proto-photographic experiments with Benjamin Silliman.[1] In his piece The Gallery of the Louvre [1] Morse used a Camera obscura to precisely capture the gallery which he then used to create the final painting.[1]
Morse met the inventor of the daguerreotype, Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre, in Paris in January 1839 when Daguerre's invention was announced [2].[1] While the daguerreotype fascinated Morse, he was concerned about how the new invention would compete with his telegraph. [1] However, Morse's viewing of the daguerreotype alleviated his fears when he saw how revolutionary its technology was.[1] Morse wrote a letter to his brother Sidney describing Daguerre's invention, which Sidney then published in the New-York Observer on April 20, 1839.[1] While this was not the first report of the daguerreotype to appear in America, it was the first in-person report to appear in the United States.[1]
Morse's account of the brand-new invention interested the American public, and through further publishings the technique of the daguerreotype integrated into the United States.[2] Magazines and newspapers included essays applauding the daguerreotype for advancing democratic American values because it could create an image without painting, which was less efficient and more expensive.[2] The introduction of the daguerreotype to America also promoted progress of ideals and technology. For example, an article published in the Boston Daily Advertiser on February 23, 1839 described the daguerreotype as having similar properties of the camera obscura, but introduced its remarkable capability of "fixing the image permanently on the paper, or making a permanent drawing, by the agency of light alone," which combined old and new concepts for readers to understand.[2]
