Lot 23

Striking close-up sixth-plate daguerreotype of a gentleman with thick dark hair and eyebrows. He is dressed in a typical formal suit, but his stare is quite captivating. The plate is in very good plus condition with nice tones and contrast and some tint to his face and lips. His shirt also has a lovely pink hue on the right side. The image had old seals and we have resealed it with a new glass. It is housed in a full case.
