Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. MICHAUT, photographer. A trio of 3 daguerreotypes of a French mother and her two children. Paris.
2 3/4 x 3 3/4 in. (visible) daguerreotype of a woman with a yellow-tinted bow tied around her neck, and 2 daguerreotypes, each 2 3/8 x 2 7/8 in. (visible), of a young boy and young girl, presumably brother and sister, each seated beside the same table. (Overall very fine condition, each with light to moderate tarnish to edges, few minor spots to plates.) The boy rests his elbow on a stack of books, and the girl rests her arm beside a white basket filled with what appears to be flowers. Each daguerreotype is sealed under a gilt mat with a ring for hanging. Accompanied by printed paper label, "Miniatures Daguerriennes par Michaut, Membre de la Societe photographique de Paris," with additional inked notation.
