Sharp sixth-plate daguerreotype of an intense yet handsome gentleman. He has a piercing stare and his black wavy hair is very detailed with beautiful dark tones. He is dressed in an expensive black suit that stands in beautiful contrast to his bright white shirt which has a slight solarization that simply glistens. His slender face has a hint of tint that is also present on his lips. The plate is in very good plus condition with some small spots as seen. It had old seals and we have resealed it with a new glass. It is housed in a half of a union case with a geometric design. Someone left it on something hot in the past and there is a melted strip present.
