$225 USDDaguerreotype Handsome Guy - 6th plate
Collectibles:Photographic:Daguerreotypes:Dags
A 6th plate measures 3.25" x 2.75". The sly grin forming on this handsome fellow's lips makes this a more animated Daguerreian portrait than most. Normally the sitters stared stoically into the camera because of the long exposures required. Technically this likeness is excellent! Fine tonal range along with perfect focus. Looking close one can make out the 2 catch lights in each of his pupils, a clear indication of the 2 light sources used to illuminate him. A very clean dag freshly resealed by ...

$225 USDDaguerreotype "Sweet Sixteen" Mary - 6th plate
Collectibles:Photographic:Daguerreotypes:Dags
That's what is written inside the remaining half of the case "Sweet sixteen Ha! HA! Mary". Was it Mary herself who wrote that or a jealous girlfriend called Mary? We will never know. What we do know is that the sitter is quite lovely but would have been a gorgeous Mona Lisa wannabe had she smiled a little. This dag is PRISTINE! I tried to capture the clarity, details and overall excellent contrast in these scans but have not succeeded. It is stunning in reality. The focus is so crisp, every ...
