Abstract

Although many American communal societies were at their heights of population and prosperity in the 1840s and 1850s, daguerreotypes of their members and settlements are extremely rare or entirely unknown today. The Miller family portrait is thought to be the only daguerreotype to survive from Zoar, the utopian community located 38 miles south of Akron, Ohio.
