Nebeneintrag. - On recommendation by John Lloyd Stephens Friedrichsthal, Austrian diplomat and explorer, acquired a daguerreotype apparatus after having been introduced to the process by John William Draper in New York in 1840. Friedrichsthal reached Yucatan the same year, before Stephens & Catherwood’s second journey (1841). After returning to New York in 1841 Friedrichsthal showed Draper some of the photographic results which had been extremely difficult to obtain. Though he had survived his expedition Frierdichsthal died the next year home in Vienna. The two daguerreotypes discussed are attributed to him due to circumstances described here in detail.
