''Why would he lie about the picture being a daguerreotype or not?''
Alphie
You are being a little sensitive on Michael Bryant's behalf I think. There is no suggestion that he ''lied'' certainly, I'm not even remotely suggesting that this is the situation and I my mind, it's not even the issue really. The issue is whether this picture is a photograph or a daguerrotype.
I looked at the two links you provided, thank you. From the Woodwind Help, I see that he is quite well qualified in some fields, namely metallurgy and clarinet and music journalism, I don't see photography listed.
The British Library link is interesting too, and has amusing anecdotal pieces in it. I notice though, that below the quotations he has cited refereces from a wide variety of sources, but most of the illustrations and pictures are unacknowleged, and therefore, I would say, that he was meaning to include these items as merely embellishment, some appear to be clip-art available in the public domain.
Perhaps he meant to imply that the picture was ''old'' when using the term daguerrotype. I don't know, maybe you could ask him.
