#11179 1/6 Daguerreotype, double ear ringed sailor
Sixth plate (2.75" by 3.25") daguerreotype of a double ear ringed sailor in nice civilian clothes. His earrings have been gilded. Housed in a nice full case, working closures and I have applied a leather spine repair.
CONDITION: The re-silvered plate is in good condition. Observing the dag straight on as shown in the scan, the image has a very nice presentation, however it does exhibit some spotting and staining when not viewed straight on. I have tried to capture this in several camera shots seen below.. The dag was resealed with Filmoplast P90 by previous owner.
