Please be aware this is a ninth plate daguerreotype. Also, please read the condition report before offerding.
I’m a big fan of these ninth plate daguerreotypes with ad cards, as they tell us so much about the culture, in addition to providing an image. The text here is classic!
The lady lives up to the billing. It’s a very bright image and she’s bold in her fashion style choices.
SIZE. Ninth plate.
HOUSING. There is a note inside the case that says “NOT WITH ORIGINAL CASE.” Therefore, we have de-emphasized the case, but will include it with the purchase.It retains the original spine and is reasonably handsome. Often, these ninth plate daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, with ad cards, did not include a case.
CONDITION. DAGUERREOTYPE: Scratches on her forehead. Other light scratches and wipes. Mat abrasions. Remnants of tarnish. Note on reverse (behind ad card) says “NEW GLASS. SEALED. CLEANED. 5 – 2013. NEW MAT.” AD CARD: Soiled. Great text.
APPEARANCE. Bright and bold. Very good contrast. Great fashion image.
