A photograph becomes a sudden portal into a Victorian summer almost two hundred years ago...
Browsing in an old bookshop, Harry Inman comes across a fragile metal plate showing the image of a famous hotel in Saratoga Springs, NY, dated 1847. He knows he holds in his hand a rare daguerreotype, the earliest form of photography.
The small, framed image is eroding, but not before it opens a window into the past, one that pulls Harry literally into another time and space.
It is a world that appears increasingly mesmerizing and seductive to him, the Saratoga Springs of grand hotels and Victorian glamour, of people strolling in summer along tree-lined boulevards that no longer exist. The music he hears in an outdoor concert enchants him.
He stays late in his study, using the image over and over again to transport him to its world.
Each visit brings him welcome release from the stress and dullness of his ordinary life. Most startling, on one such visit Harry encounters the man who created the daguerreotype in the first place--who acknowledges Harry as if he knows him. How?
He doesn't have time to find out. His visits are only brief ones, and the metal image, already corrupted, is fading more and more. Harry must make a choice before the imageand the portaldisappear forever.
