FAMOUS LOOKING MAN READING A BOOK HALF PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE DAG
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:14207391 | Photo Type: Daguerreotype |
This daguerreotype was done by a master daguerreotypist judging by the pose, the richness of the man’s face, and the composition. Okay, I don’t know that the reader is famous, hence the title 'famous looking.'
SIZE. Half plate.
HOUSING. This came to me uncased so I’ve married it to a half case.
CONDITION. Poor to fair condition. Scratches and wipes all over. Emulsion missing at lower left corner and at 9:00. We’ve reseale...d it with the original thick glass.
APPEARANCE. Classic pose. Great depth to his face. Strong composition.
