Thanks for highlight early photography which produced what is known as daguerreotypes SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. The length of time required to pose for a daguerreotypes required people to have a straight face since most smiles or frowns could not be held fro up to one minute. This is why these early "photos" have people looking very serious as though they never had any fun. :-)
