However, daguerreotypy, in its execution, is a far more compelling art form than its more advanced sibling. Projected against a brushed silvery-gray background, the images emerge from the surface and possess an almost three-dimensional quality.

The danger inherent in pointillism was that all those microdots, if their tonal relations were not perfectly controlled, could look like a bad case of measles. In his middle years Signac almost always avoided this. The seascapes become what they are meant to be: a vibration...
