[MINING - EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Sixth plate daguerreotype of a gold miner wearing a shirt adorned with anchors, moons, and stars.

Seated portrait of a bearded miner posed before a curtain or cloth backdrop with visible ripples. He wears a shirt made of fabric embellished with anchors, moons, and stars, along with a gold nugget pin and California style buckle. (Tarnishing along edge, few spots; re-glazed and resealed 2000.) Housed in a fully separated hand-painted case with mother-of-pearl inlay (front cover fully separated from case, surface wear throughout). Penciled inscription in case behind image is largely indecipherable.

A daguerreotype featuring two miners, one wearing an almost identical shirt to the one worn by the subject here, is housed at the Oakland Museum of California.
