#2955 1/6 Daguerreotype, a very pretty young woman

Great sixth plate (2.75" by 3.25") daguerreotype of a very pretty young woman with bottle curls. She is wearing a wonderful off-shoulder dress and holding her hat. Her jewelry is tinted gold and red and her necklace is tinted silver and gold. The red spot below her arm is not really there some how it appeared from the scan. Housed in nice full case with some wear spots and an intact spine. CONDITION: excellent plate with some tarnish and slight haze around the mat, several meaningless spots in the background. Horizontal buffing lines can be seen at several viewing angles. New glass and archival seal. $245
