Vintage Daguerreotype
$59.00 - Product is currently out of stock.
Ninth-Plate Daguerreotype (1840 - 1855), 19th century portrait, vintage case, 2 x 2.5. The daguerreotype photograph, developed in 1839 by Louis Daguerre, was the very process that would make history as the first publicly announced and commercially recognized photographic process. This type of image can be identified by its mirror-like surface of metallic silver which, when tilted, may virtually disappear.
Pictured in one half of this vintage case is a 19th century bust-length portrait of a distinguished gentleman clad in a suit and tie, featuring pink-tinted cheeks. The image is bordered by a gorgeously embellished oval gold frame, and although the front cover is missing, half of the original clasp closure remains intact on the back panel.
In very good condition, with scattered spotting to the surface of the image, some silvering around the edges, a missing front cover and light wear to the case.
