Sixth Plate

WITHIN THE CONCENTRIC OVALS . . . An uncertain gentleman was placed on this restored sixth plate daguerreotype that is nestled in a good complete leather case that has a very unusual decorative design on both sides. My reproduction is flat compared to the bounce this likeness has. The tonality and colors change dramatically when the guy is studied. While his personality might not overwhelm the next collector the level of competence obtained by the practitioner of the art on display certain will. Bold contrast and serious deep depth plus exceptional brightness won?t fail to impress. There are two tiny dimples bottom center. One in the wide blue vignette and the other just above it on the fellow?s jacket. None of the pale marks have any negative bearing on the condition.
