D07-29. A GRANDSON? My hat's off to the elderly couple if that cute little boy was actually their son. The stern faced woman had one hand holding the back of his tunic and used her other hand to keep the lad's under control. He held his chin high while the lady slightly dipped her head causing those deep-set eyes to become partially hooded from the skylight source of intensity. The man opted for a more formal bust portrait selecting his best serious face for the daguerreotypist who framed both retaped sixth plates in identical brass mats and protectors. He also colored their flesh tones with a talented brush. Both likenesses were critically focused. It should be obvious to all that his chemistry was superlative. The depth is amazing. Oxidations flows inside the ovals. The gent's surface has a spidery line in the lower left side while the companion piece has some white spots on the dark drop. The dual compartmented leather case is tight with a poorly repaired spine. $375
