Fabulous sixth-plate daguerreotype of an attractive young lady posed with a framed daguerreotype of four men. She seems lost in thought or daydreaming about past memories. We assume these were her brothers, possibly with her father or her husband. The image has lovely tones and contrast. We see some gold highlights on the pin on her bow and her bow and wrist bands have a slight pink hue when in viewed in light. The image has been cleaned in the past and there is some light spotting and some buffing-type lines along with some tiny mat marks. It has been previously resealed and it resides in half of a case.
