Uncredited, but possibly by George Kirk Warren, Lowell, MA. Housed in "Mascher's Improved Stereoscope" quarter plate case classified as "Very Very Rare" in Berg [9-13].

Provenance: Acquired from the estate of George K. Warren (1824-1884), a noted daguerreotypist from Lowell, Massachusetts, as indicated by modern penciled notations on seals behind plate. An additional modern notation identifies the sitter as Abbie Bacon. No further documentation accompanies the lot.
