The Cincinnati Library is known for having the 1848 panoramic landscape - Fontayne-Porter Daguerreotype - of Cincinnati on display. http://foundation.cincinnatilibrary.org/waystosupport/souvenirs/panorama The resolution is unbelievable, it is sharp down to the molecular level. To match it your camera would have to be 140,000 megapixels. Best Viewed Large.
Retired educator - taught mathematics in high school, went back to graduate school, worked in research labs, and finally went back and taught computer science...
@webfoot Thank you Paul, they protect the daguerreotype by argon gas so you can't get a real sharp photo of it @kerristephens Thank you Kerri, they used a stereo microscope and at 30x magnification they did not see any pixelation @marilyn Thank you Marilyn, I had driven through Cincinnati before, but this is the first time we stayed and I am glad we did
