Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. 16 sixth plate daguerreotype family portraits incl. parents with children.
A pair of landscape-oriented daguerreotype portraits from the same sitting, featuring the same woman and three children. There are subtle differences between the two exposures, including the toddler's facial expression, but their poses remain the same. (Some tarnishing and spotting to both images.) Housed together in a pressed paper case (general wear). -- A lovely portrait featuring young lady and a young girl, possibly siblings. The older girl holds a cased image on her lap. (Minor tarnishing to edges, few other imperfections.) Housed in a pressed paper case (surface wear/loss). -- And 13 others. Some without cases or full cases. Some housed together in one case. Conditions vary. -- Together, 16 sixth plate daguerreotypes of family members.
[With:] Sixth plate daguerreotype portrait of a woman wearing a lace collar and dangling earrings. Housed in a half pressed paper case.
19th-20th Century Historic Photography Collection of Dr. Joseph T. Pollock
