Sixth-Plate Daguerreotype (1840 - 1855), 19th century portrait, vintage gold frame, 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 adorable 19th century portrait captures the essence of a round-faced, seated child. Clad in a period dress, knickers and small boots, the little girl appears to be holding a small white flower. The image is bordered by an embellished gold frame.
In very good condition, with surface marks to the image and frame.
