| EEW-205. A DIAMOND RING . . . Signifies that the full figured lady was married. Those other two gold tinted bands and that large brooch suggest that she not only had ample cash to pay for her sixth plate likeness but she could also afford the extra jewelry. J.T. Williams, her maker, also handed the woman a small thermoplastic case to hold. The newly taped piece has plenty of pizzazz when the separated leather cover is removed. It is worth noting the entire advertisement steam pressed on the red velvet cushion: " J.T. Williams Premium Gallery York PA"! Who would have guessed that such splendid daguerreotypes were being produced in south central PA? There are a couple mat scrapes and one brown dot on the subject's collar. A tiny defect in the silver is located between pleats on her left breast. It is seen in the negative image. $245 |
