I stumbled across this daguerreotype of Eugene Delacroix (okay, I was looking at the site Bangable Dudes in History, and was struck by some of the daguerreotype portraits). This is the only known photograph of Delacroix, who was apparently recovering from a serious illness when this was taken. Still, it is striking in it's intensity.
