Housing refers to the origin of photography. The cassette is
an enlargement of the housing commonly used to retain daguerreotypes:
one of the earliest photographic processes, invented by Daguerre in the
1830s. The copper plate, which would normally bear the image, is lifted
from the frame and placed aside. The housing becomes a container of ideas
in which these could be permanently sealed.
