A Glowing Backdrop, Hand Tinted Sixth Plate Dag

A PINKISH GLOW? was applied to the sky of the painted backdrop behind this man. He looks very self-assured, doesn’t he? I don?t know where he had his sixth plate portrait made, but it certainly came out well. The guy really does glow. The resealed dag has some tarnish and mold spiders on the periphery. There are some odd tarnish swirls in the backdrop too – or maybe they’re bleeding tinting. There is a little pink on his shoulder. There are a few teeny green spots here and there, the most noticeable one is on his vest. The dag comes in a case with a split spine.
