The objects, however, suffered from this treatment. Thus he commissioned photographic reproductions to circulate instead. The first trial with Daguerreotypes failed, because these were relatively fragile and also suffered from frequent moving. (Daguerrotype was the first commercially available form of photography, introduced in 1839. Each photograph was a one-off, appearing on a silvered copper plate.) In 1853 Minutoli engaged Ludwig Belitski to make a photographic reproduction on paper. Belitski was a photographer from Liegnitz in Silesia (now Legnica, Poland). He earned international fame from Minutoli’s large commission (seven folio-sized volumes with 663 plates) and won awards in Brussels and Amsterdam in 1855 and 1856. The Venetian glass here was photographed in bright sunlight.","physicalDescription":"Salted paper print depicting fifteen 15th and 16th Century Venetian-style vases and glasses displayed on three shelves.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Belitski, Ludwig","id":"A6437"},"association":{"text":"photographer","id":"AAT25687"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"salted paper","id":"AAT127389"}],"techniques":[{"text":"photography","id":"AAT54225"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Salted paper print","categories":[{"text":"Images Online","id":"THES48937"},{"text":"Food vessels & Tableware","id":"THES48952"},{"text":"Glass","id":"THES48946"},{"text":"Household objects","id":"THES48939"},{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"},{"text":"Vases","id":"THES48879"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2006AR9057"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLF","id":"THES49656"},"free":"","case":"X","shelf":"285","box":"F"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"photograph","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Liegnitz","id":"x37880"},"association":{"text":"photographed","id":"x30151"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1855","earliest":"1850-01-01","latest":"1859-12-31"},"association":{"text":"photographed","id":"x30151"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by The Prince Consort","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"228","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"182","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"image","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"331","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"card","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"267","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"card","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Vases, etc, glass.
