#3021 1/6 Plate Daguerreotype of a little Leprechaun

Great little Leprechaun sixth plate (2.75" by 3.25") daguerreotype. How cute can you get, standing in a chair with those pursed lips and holding his hat with the big buckle and ribbon. Housed in a nice Union Case with a little chip at the closure. CONDITION: the re-silvered plate is in near excellent condition save for a small dimple almost at the mat on the lower left and a small spot (which is just a spot not a plate eruption) near the right mat opening. A slight ring of tarnish is present. Resealed by a previous owner. (NOTE: re-silvered refers to a process done by the daguerreotypist to add an extra layer of silver to the plate before the image was exposed. This is generally believed to have been done to achieve a superior plate surface.) $350.00
