Lot Description

[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY].  Daguerreotype of a trio of nude women. 


Daguerreotype portrait of nude women, 2 1/4 x 2 7/8 in. (sight). (Some scratches and wipe marks to image, with significant spot of loss to upper left edge; sealed under eglomisé mat with imperfections to gilt inner border). Housed in decorative black-painted wooden wall frame (few spots of loss to paint, few hairline cracks at corners). Three nude women stand on a carpet clasping one another's hands, with one long piece of fabric draped around them. The ladies standing on the ends hold an unknown object above the middle lady's head together. 

This image could be half of a stereo-daguerreotype, but this cannot be confirmed as the image has not been examined out of the frame.
