Picryl description: Public domain image of a daguerreotype portrait, early photography, 19th century, Victorian style, free to use, no copyright restrictions.

Langenheim Brothers was a photography studio founded in Philadelphia in 1846 by William and Frederick Langenheim. They were known for their innovative techniques and pioneering work in the field of photography. The Langenheim Brothers were among the first photographers to use the daguerreotype process and also experimented with stereoscopic photography, which produced 3D images. The Langenheim brothers' work was highly regarded and they received numerous awards for their photography, including a gold medal at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. They also photographed notable figures of their time, such as Edgar Allan Poe and Abraham Lincoln. The Langenheim Brothers' studio continued to operate into the early 1900s, and their legacy lives on through their contributions to the development of photography as an art form.
