Daguerreotypist coloring a plate with a daguerreian coloring box. Illustrated is the standard box with eight bottles of powdered colors, brushes and a palette for mixing colors. The powders were so fine that they adhered to the plate with as little as the moisture from an expelled breath.
 
Close-up of the coloring box showing a bottle of liquid in front of the box which could be used as an agent to mix colors before applying to the plate. (Matt Isenburg)
