Item History & Price
HOLOGRAPHIC MASTERPIECE 1/6 PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE - "HE WORE HIS LIFE ON HIS FACE"- IN FULL CASE - Talk about the ability to unveil the true likeness of someone's face; here is one of the most hyperrealistic daguerreian portraits I have ever encountered. This gentleman's weathered face tell you so much of his life was lived under the extreme conditions of the 19th Century. Judging by his combed over hair dusted with gray, he most likely saw the beginning of the century as a child. His or...bs stare out from his sunken eye sockets in a most piercing manner. Warm tinting was applied to his face. The gentleman's bold likeness affixed to this sixth plate rests in a full leatherette case you will rarely see. If you enjoy the holographic qualities of the daguerreotype process, then you will want to seriously consider this amazing effort. The image has the feeling of capturing someone's soul. Good luck to all my clientele winning this spectacular cased image for their collection.
CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. I personally resealed this sixth plate with P90 archival tape and a new sheet of glass. The image has unbelievable contrast, tonal range and sharpness. Warm hand tinting was applied to his face. There is some normal patina around the perimeter of the plate, a few minor spots and a light yellow spot only visible at certain angles between his eyebrows. The leatherette case has some normal wear, a restored leather hinge and working clasp. The case has a beautiful velvet pillow and a rarer motif pressed into the leather exterior. I guarantee you will thoroughly fall in love with his portrait. The cased image will be carefully packed and shipped by Priority Mail to the winner.
