I know all sorts of varnishes have been tried, mostly unsuccessfully,
but the oldest recognized American Daguerreotype was varnished- the
image is still visible.

 From what I understand, because of the way Daguerreotypes work, with
little bumps of silver forming an interference image, anything that one
does to change the refractive index is going to affect images.
