Description: It was in 1839 that the first photographic patents were issued to Louis Daguerre. We offer a 1/6 plate (3 ¼" x 2 ¾") sensitive daguerreian portrait of a young seated girl. She stares intently and has a rather furrowed brow. The image is housed in its original embossed leather hinged case. Condition: This document should be considered in very good condition. There may be some minor staining, wear, toning, foxing (discoloration) or small tears to historical documents and letters. Please contact us with any questions about condition. |
