Photographer Photographer Nègre, Charles Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Smith, Dominic Book Genre Novel Photograph Title Title of photograph Le Stryge (The Vampire) 1853 (large oval detail) Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Cityscape / Portrait (Salt Print) Designer Designer of book cover Lee, Jeanne M. (Jacket art: Marc Yankus) Notes Notes associated with the item Despite the title of this novel, the cover image is not by Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre, nor is it a portrait of Daguerre. It is by Charles Nègre, another French phtotographer of the era, and the figure standing next to the famous Notre Dame gargoyle is yet another photographer, Henri LeSecq. Daguerre, one of the inventors of photography, named the results of his new process Daguerreotypes. They were exquisitely detailed images on a silvery, mirror-like surface, and were, in fact, one of a kind. There was no negative from which positive copies could be made. Daguerreotypes were often presented in frames like the one illustrated on this book's cover. Negre's photograph, however, is not a Daguerreotype; it is a Salt Print, a process invented by <a href="https://coveringphotography.bc.edu/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Bjoiner%5D=and&advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=51&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+empty&advanced%5B1%5D%5Belement_id%5D=58&advanced%5B1%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B1%5D%5Bterms%5D=Fox+Talbot%2C+William+Henry&collection=&type=&tags=&user=&public=&featured=&search=">William Henry Fox Talbot</a>, in which an intermediary paper negative was exposed, theoretically allowing multiple positives to be made. The title of the photograph, Le Styrge (translates to The Vampire), is generally credited to André Jammes.
