ONE OF THOSE DAYS. Either the operator’s chemistry wasn’t up to snuff when he placed the pair of young women on his sixth plate or this could possibly be a copy of an original daguerreotype. The retaped likeness still presents the lasses in good light. Although admittedly their pose does seem slightly stilted. They don’t appear to have been sisters. I wonder what their relationship was. A couple harsh polishing marks and one mold spider are seen on the silver. My reproduction accurately shows the contrast and tonality. A wooden and composite case is separated along the spine.
