Lot 6

Divine sixth-plate Boston soft vignette-style daguerreotype of a handsome gentleman. Dressed in a formal suit with perfectly groomed beard we see a hint of a grin under his mustache. He is a natural in the studio as he stares at the photographer in a professional and pleasing manner. The image is in excellent minus condition with a beautiful milky background and lovely tones and contrast. His face and lips are tinted. There are a few light buffing lines when viewed at angle. We have resealed the image with a new glass and it resides in a black leather pushbutton case that has some wear.
