Sweet sixth-plate daguerreotype of a rather shy couple holding hands. Both are posed in a rather stiff manner and he sits with his arms crossed in his lap. While their affection cannot be denied, it is not clear if they are husband and wife or brother and sister. There are light flesh tones to the faces and hands. She is wearing a gilded, pin-pricked broach. The image is in excellent condition with one very small mat mark on the far left. It had been resealed when purchased and is contained in a full leather case.
