The Daguerreotype: Accuser and Avenger, a short story by Eugénie Foa, is the first piece of fiction in which the plot turns upon the evidence revealed by the daguerreotype, marking photography's literary debut. A translation of this story is followed by an analysis of aspects of Parisian culture that are manifest in it.
