To accomplish the request for two copies of a portrait photograph using the daguerreotype process, Frances likely had to repeat the process and attempt to replicate the initial image. This is because the daguerreotype process creates a unique image on a metal plate, so to produce a second copy, the photographer would need to take another exposure of the subject.
