Charming sixth-plate daguerreotype of a handsome boy posed with his favorite book which he holds open to a favorite passage. He is quite the looker, styled in a well fitted jacket with a cool light checkered vest accented by a perfect striped tie. His long wavy hair has been styled with a large curl in front which is simply sublime! The plate is in very good plus condition with strong tones and contrast. The natural hue on his vest is splendid.  At an angle there are a few tiny lines/scratches on the left side and the bottom. It had been resealed and it is housed in a full case, “Intertwined Stars”, Berg 4-38.
