For the first time, you can own a high quality digital print from the famed Fontayne-Porter eight-plate daguerreotypes taken in the fall of 1848—one of the great treasures of the Library. Each plate depicts a portion of a two-mile wide panorama of the Cincinnati riverfront including the oldest known photographic image of steamboats. Each duotone print features a 10½″ × 13¾ inch image printed on archival paper with exceptional detail. Plates 1-8 are furnished with descriptions of each view and its riverboats.
