#11172 1/6 Daguerreotype, handsome curly-haired young gent
Sixth plate (2.75" by 3.25") daguerreotype of a handsome curly-haired young gent. There is light tinting to his face and he has an interesting tie. Most likely the image was made by one of the Boston masters, hence the double silvered plate, convex glass and a black Boston style push-button case. Housed in a full black Boston style case with minimum wear, mostly to the edges. The case closes nicely with a snap. The lower left corner of the preserver has separated.
CONDITION: The plate is in good condition with some marks in the left background. The double silvered plate is resealed with Filmoplast P90. The image shows a lot better in hand than what my scans picked up, most of which you can’t see with the naked eye.
