Lot Description

[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Sixth plate postmortem daguerreotype of a child sitting in a chair.


Sixth plate portrait of a dead or dying young girl who appears to be propped up in a wicker back chair, with another person's arms visible behind the chair. (Some spots and imperfections to plate, some loss of clarity to lower portion; unsealed.) Housed in a full pressed paper case (surface wear, loss, and some discoloration to velvet pad). The young subject seems to be unconscious, though her eyes appear ever so slightly open.
