#11280 1/6 Daguerreotype, gentleman with a chin beard and a piled-up hairdo
Sixth plate (2.75" by 3.25") daguerreotype of a gentleman with a chin beard and a piled-up hairdo. This is a later type of dag, which I have seen before, which has an overall creamy cast. Very interesting effect. The dag is housed in a full case with a cloth type of spine repair and does not close completely.
CONDITION: the re-silvered plate is in excellent condition, there are several small marks across the top of his hair which the scanner picked up. The plate has an archival spacer under the mat, and I have resealed the dag with a new glass, Filmoplast P90 and archival polyester film.
