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.
This lovely 19th century portrait shows a half-length image of a middle-aged woman in a period dress, bordered by an oval gold frame. The interior of the front cover is lined in tan satin. The floral-emblazoned case is fully intact and features the original, still-functioning clasp closure.
Dark outlining to the image and the expected wear to the case, otherwise fine condition.
