Woman Dressed to the Nines, Holding one Glove, Hand Tinted Quarter Plate Daguerreotype

Just as this woman spared no expense with her fashion – look at the lace and her jewelry, her careful ringlets, the bows at her wrists – the daguerreotypist captured her standing and hand colored her image very well. Her blue gown jumps out at you and the picked jewellry sparkles. The resealed image is in very good conditon with some little mold spiders scattered around the upper portion. It comes in a whole case.
