Marvelous sixth-plate daguerreotype of a cute young woman posed in front of a brocade curtain with hanging tassels. Dressed in black she seems a bit sad so this could be a mourning photograph. And it may not be her first photograph as she seems comfortable in the studio. The image is in very good plus condition with great tones and contrast with a hint of tint to her face. There are a few tiny spots as seen. The image has been resealed with a new glass. It is housed in a “Lady with Palm Branch” leather case, Berg 4-54. Opening bid $55
