Questa tavola di identificazione dei punzoni su dagherrotipo usa un sistema di classificazione flessibile ed aperto ai contributi di collezionisti privati e curatori di musei. L'idea è quella di proporre un modello unificato di classificazione internazionale per i punzoni su dagherrotipo. La proposta nasce dalle esperienze di studio, ricerca e collezionismo sviluppate da G. Chiesa e P.Gosio.
Maggiori informazioni sui criteri di riferimento e sulla struttura dei codici di classificazione qui adottati si trovano su [questo link].
Questa è una pagina in aggiornamento costante per la consultazione e lo studio, aperta alla collaborazione di tutti. Qui sono pubblicate solo le schede sintetiche con grafica filigranata e dimensioni ridotte.
Testi estesi, grafica in alta risoluzione e le immagini fotografiche dei punzoni sono pubblicate sul libro:

The idea is to propose a unified international classification model to give a single code to each Daguerreotype Hallmark. The proposal arises from the experience of study, research and collection developed by G.Chiesa and P.Gosio.
