Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2820200 |
Wonderful quarter-platedaguerreotype in a passe-partout presentation and also housed in a full European style leathercase with metal hinges. Our sitter is a distinguished gentleman witha slightly cavalier presence about him. He is perfectly styled and his white, lightly solarized vest supplies anice contrast to his dark jacket. Theseals to the presentation appeared to be original but we opened it to clean theglass. The image has some light typicalhazing to the ol...d glass along with some crazing to the reverse-painted blackpaint. The image itself has very nicetones and contrast. We have provided ascan without the presentation mat so you can see this nice, clean sharpdaguerreotype. It is housed in a fullplain leather case with a typical slight warp, although it does still latch. Buyer pays postage.
