I have freely mixed ‘real’ historical persons and fictional characters: all films are works of the imagination.

With the invention of the Daguerreotype (1839), Fox Talbot’s calotype (1840) and the collodion process (1851) photography was born in the mid-century; from here on it becomes possible to talk of look-alike makeups.
