  They are famous. I am in my mid-40s and the term was discussed when I was growing up—despite the technology having been obsolete for 100 years. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/nov/18/google-doodle-honours-louis-daguerre https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/nov/18/google-do...

  Famous enough for me to know the word "daguerreotype" as a teenager in the 90s when looking at what I know now was probably a tintype.
