Presenting a contemporary daguerreotype of the moon taken by Marinus J. Oretelee of the Netherlands, dated April 5th, 2015, at 06:45 LT. This remarkable piece merges the timeless artistry of the daguerreotype process with modern astronomical photography, capturing the moon in stunning detail. The image, meticulously crafted by a skilled modern daguerreotypist, reflects the enduring fascination with celestial bodies and the unique beauty of the daguerreotype medium. The reverse of the plate notes the date and time of capture, along with the geographic coordinates (N51 27 44 - E3 58 29), adding an extra layer of specificity and historical context to the work. Housed in a minimalist frame that highlights the lunar subject, this piece is an extraordinary blend of old and new, making it a perfect addition to any collection that values both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistry.
