a plot detail.

In this excerpt, Poe is revealing a plot detail. The plot of a text refers to the sequence of events in a story which are connected to one another through the principle of cause and effect. In other words, the plot refers to all the major events that happen in a story. In this case, Poe is giving us a plot detail when he tells us that many individuals in the crowd had become aware of the masked person.

I would say this is a message setting description because it talks of a masked figure in the crowd who became apparent after the chimes (which may be in a church or cathedral) stopped ringing. This seems to set the stage and intimates that something perhaps menacing will happen due to the "masked figure" since when I hear "masked" I think of maybe having a gun or being armed so wanting to hide his/her identity.

Answer:

Louis Daguerre's motivation to begin experimenting with light sensitive materials was so that he and others would be able to capture an image from a still moment in time

Step-by-step explanation:

Early photography and Daguerreotype Medium.

Louis Daguerre invented a new process he dubbed a daguerrotype in 1839, which significantly reduced exposure time and created a lasting result, but only produced a single image.

Louis Daguerre called his invention "daguerreotype." His method, which he disclosed to the public late in the summer of 1839, consisted of treating silver-plated copper sheets with iodine to make them sensitive to light, then exposing them in a camera and "developing" the images with warm mercury vapor.

Daguerreotypes became an equalizer among classes. No longer were likenesses only created for the super rich. An average person could walk into a portrait studio, sit for an image, and have the same product as the millionaire down the street. The popularity gave rise to picture factories

Views of modernity and capitalism heavily influenced Daguerre’s discovery because his main goal was to improve and modernize the process previously used to capture images and to upgrade what he saw using camera obscura.

People could start to develop a visual history, not only the rich could afford to have a portrait made, and people could collect images of their friends and family.
