The title is the American version with additions and corrections written by John William Draper, M.D., who is well-known in the daguerreian world. Possibly this is the daguerreian\u2019s book, but it is equally possible this woman was a scientist herself. She wears a black dress and while quite classic it has a mesmerizing white collar which creates a wonderful illusion. It is hard to tell if this is a geometric cut-out or if it is black fabric alternating with the white. The photographer has skillfully tinted the tablecloth a lovely blue. The plate is in excellent minus with great tones and contrast and some light hues to her face and lips. It had old seals intact and we have now resealed it with a new glass. It is housed in a full late 1840\u2019s leather case with a floral design. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-5, #DFDFE2);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Opening bid &#8211; $100\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16-1024x638.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16-150x94.jpg 150w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16.jpg 1336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16a-815x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16a-815x1024.jpg 815w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16a-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16a-119x150.jpg 119w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16a-768x965.jpg 768w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16a.jpg 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16b.jpg 618w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16b-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/capitolgallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lot16b-127x150.jpg 127w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lot 16 Vibrant sixth-plate daguerreotype of an intellectual woman wrapped in a gorgeous large, patterned shawl and with a special book, Kane\u2019s Chemistry,\u00a0edited by Harper, on the table next to her.
