FAMOUS FACE: One of the earliest known images of abolitionist Frederick Douglass is on display at Rush Rhees Library. On loan from the Chester County Historical Society in West Chester, Pennsylvania, the image, a daguerreotype believed to have been taken in the early 1840s, was at one time a gift to ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony. While at ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é, the daguerreotype will be analyzed in conjunction with a research project that’s showcased in a library exhibition, Researching the Daguerreotype at the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é: Nanotechnology Meets Local History, which is on display at Rush Rhees through February 29.
