Whole plate outdoor daguerreotype,

circa 1855

Whole plate outdoor daguerreotype, 1850s. Here we see the exterior of P.J Espenscheid's store in Nevada City, California, which would provide for those recent migrants to the area like gold miners etc. Fantastic image courtesy of the The Library of Congress.
