WONDERFUL 1/9 PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE - A VERY PRETTY 1850 ' S LADY - INSIDE FULL CASE
Item History & Price
WONDERFUL 1/9 PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE - A VERY PRETTY 1850'S LADY - INSIDE FULL CASE - Here is a wonderful ninth plate daguerreotype of a pretty young lady perfectly posed seated in this Daguerrian operators chair. She has all of the fashionable attributes seen during the 1850's. She was positioned to show off her elegant attire. I happen to love the choker held with a tiny brooch besides the larger brooch beneath. She wore tiny understated earrings. The winged coiffure also helps to date ...this image. Her cheeks were lightly dusted with warm toned tinting, but those eyes, they gaze so beautifully into the lens, don't they? Her likeness rests in a full case for your enjoyment and her protection. Good luck to my winning bidder.
CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The image came to me without the original seals. I have resealed this ninth plate with new cover glass and sealed with P90 Plus archival tape for her protection. The image contains beautiful contrast, tonal range and sharpness. A single brownish spot sits on her lapel of her lace collar and a few mold spiders are present. Her portrait resides in a nice full case with a restored leather hinge, the single working clasp and a lovely pillow with a floral urn pressed into the velvet. Note: there is a tiny tear in the pillow, but as you can see it still presents nicely. Overall, a more attractive daguerreotype portrait than most and at a great price. Winner chooses First Class or Priority Mail at checkout.
