According to\u00a0<em>Craig\u2019s Registry,<\/em>\u00a0William Snell first operated in Salem in 1843. This wonderful character study shows a conservatively dressed woman with what we would consider a more modern hairstyle. Her simple but graceful jacket is an unusual cream color and her floral dress hidden underneath is a bolder, more elegant style. Snell\u2019s gothic looking chair is partially visible in the background. The daguerreotype is in excellent minus condition with beautiful tones and contrast and a hint of tint to her cheeks. We have resealed it with a new glass and it resides in a beautiful floral leather case with a repaired hinge.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-7-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-97883dfd6b16c2fd72217c9be30e608f\">Opening bid: $120<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1602\" height=\"988\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2.jpg 1602w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2-1024x632.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2-768x474.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2-1536x947.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1602px) 100vw, 1602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"727\" height=\"932\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2a.jpg 727w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2a-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot2a-117x150.jpg 117w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 727px) 100vw, 727px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lot 2 Lovely quarter-plate daguerreotype of a young woman by William Snell, Salem, MA as identified on an intricately designed velvet mat.
