Sixth-Plate Daguerreotype (1840 - 1855), 19th century portrait, vintage case, 2.75 x 3.25. 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.
Featured within is a beautifully preserved 19th century portrait of a middle-aged woman in a bonnet, shawl and leather gloves, bordered by a gold frame. Housed in a gorgeous case that resembles a vintage book, the interior of the front cover is lined in deep blue velvet, and the original clasp remains intact and functioning.
In fine condition, with some light wear to the exterior of the case.
