The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- "Daguerreotype" also refers to an image created through this process.
- Invented by Louis Daguerre and introduced worldwide in 1839, the daguerreotype was almost completely superseded by 1856 with new, less expensive processes, such as the ambrotype, that yield more readily viewable images.
- Since the late 20th century, some photographers interested in making artistic use of early photographic processes have revived the daguerreotype process.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Daguerreotype article was read about 350,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
