1/6 PLATE DAGUERREOTYPE - DASHING 1840's GENT & RARE PANEL BACKDROP IN RARE FULL CASE - In this bold early effort, you have a very dashing gentleman who obviously had visited his finest local haberdashery judging by his attire. Posed leaning onto a table covered in several publications, he was placed against a very unusual painted backdrop made to appear like faux stonework which gives a wonderful texture to the background. The sharp and bold likeness rests inside a rarer leather c...ase, "Two Birds in a Nest with Eggs." If you are a collector of fine gentlemen or superb early efforts, then you may wish to bid on his distinguished likeness. Good luck to all my clientele adding this fine daguerreotype to your collection.
CONDITION: Please view my detailed photos for the actual condition of the image and as part of my description. The resealed sixth plate contains excellent contrast, tonal range, subtle hand tinting and wonderful sharpness. The plate has been resealed with P90 archival tape and a new sheet of glass. His cheeks have a soft hand tinting applied. The case has a nice older restored leather hinge, although the inside part of the hinge has some wear as seen in my second listing photo. The case does have both of the working clasps and a handsome red velvet plush next to his fine portrait. You are sure to be pleased with your purchase.
