(Light tarnishing to edges, few spots and imperfections througout; unsealed.) Housed in a pressed paper case (significant wear throughout). The image features a daguerreian circular border around the subjects, who both wear somewhat sullen or concerned expressions. -- Ninth plate seated portrait of a girl wearing a patterned dress and holding what appears to be a daguerreian locket up to her chest, the image visible to the camera. (Tarnishing to edges; original seals.) Housed in a pressed paper case (surface wear, velvet pad missing). -- And 10 other sixth plate portraits. -- Together, 12 daguerreotypes of female subjects with cased images.
