She wears a beautiful polka-dot dress which creates a lovely, patterned illusion and is highlighted by large bows on her shoulders. The plate is in excellent minus condition with strong tones and contrast. There is a little tint on her two bracelets. The plate had old seals intact, but we have resealed it now with a new glass. This has the upward plate bends that was more widely used in the Midwest and was a trademark for Thomas Easterly. Others such as fellow St. Louis Daguerreian J.J. Outley mimicked this technique as it prevented abrasions from the opening of the mat. The image is housed in half of a case with a diamond pattern on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Opening bid $40\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-6cf21ee\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"6cf21ee\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-6cf21ee {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(63.7% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 1 \/ 2 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-6cf21ee-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-6cf21ee-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"509\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lot12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lot12.jpg 509w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lot12-124x150.jpg 124w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/lot12-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lot 12 Precious ninth-plate daguerreotype of an adorable chubby cheeked baby with a wisp of a spit curl on the top of her head.
