	[[Image:11909r.jpg\|left\|thumb\|350px\|Plumbeotype created by John Plumbe]]Plumbe developed a mechanical hand engraving coping process that produced lithographic images from daguerreotypes. He called the method "plumbeotypes." He was planning on copying his photographs and making reproductions of them. One of the earliest surviving photographs of the Capitol, John Plumbe, Jr.'s daguerreotype shows the building with its old copper-sheathed wooden dome. Plumbe hoped to sell "plumbeotypes" of several Washington buildings, as well as likenesses of prominent individuals. His endeavor was not successful. Very few plumbeotypes have survived.
