Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. 18 sixth plate daguerreotypes of children with serious or sad expressions.
Crisp portrait of a young girl with her chin-length hair worn straight and tucked behind her ears, looking at the camera with a somewhat forlorn or vacant expression. She appears to hold something indiscernible in her hand. (Some tarnishing to edges, otherwise a nice, clear image; resealed 1993.) Housed in a half pressed paper case (surface wear/loss). -- Full standing portrait of a young girl with her hair worn down and curled, sporting an off-the-shoulder dress and tinted jewelry. (Tarnishing to edges, minor spotting/clouding; resealed 2012.) Housed in a Union case with scrap of paper behind image penciled, "June 23 1859." -- And 16 others. Conditions and housings vary. -- Together, 18 sixth plate daguerreotype portraits of children.
19th-20th Century Historic Photography Collection of Dr. Joseph T. Pollock
