What's the difference between daguerreotype and daguerreotyper?
Daguerreotype
Definition:
(n.) An early variety of photograph, produced on a silver plate, or copper plate covered with silver, and rendered sensitive by the action of iodine, or iodine and bromine, on which, after exposure in the camera, the latent image is developed by the vapor of mercury.
(n.) The process of taking such pictures.
(v. t.) To produce or represent by the daguerreotype process, as a picture.
(v. t.) To impress with great distinctness; to imprint; to imitate exactly.
Example Sentences:

(2) In particular the 19th century produced images such as daguerreotype, collodion positive and the ferrotype.
(3) Broadway was so busy that early daguerreotypes show the midday crowds as a speeding white blur.
(4) Although photographic self-portraits have been around since 1839, when daguerreotype pioneer Robert Cornelius took a picture of himself outside his family's store in Philadelphia (whether he had the help of an assistant is not known), it was not until the invention of the compact digital camera that the selfie boomed in popularity.
