Brilliant sixth-plate daguerreotype of an intense older gentleman with a furrowed brow. Posed semi-profile we see a fabulous hair curl on the side which compliments his muttonchops. The plate is in excellent minus condition with gorgeous tones and contrast. The whites are extremely bright with rich black hues on his coat and tie. This Image had old seals still attached with a convex glass. We have cleaned and resealed the plate to the original convex glass. It is housed in a full leather case.
