Sixth Plate

GOT A MINUTE MISTER? Nope, I’m not suggesting anything about the lass who posed rather provocatively for her resealed sixth plate dag. Yet, with those twin twinkles in her eyes and that set of full lips formed into such a friendly mouth . . . well maybe the woman was just comfortable in front of the lens and cheerful most of the time. Lots of oxidation is around the lady. Tinting was applied to the chair cushion, the tablecloth, the subject?s ribbons and on her flesh. That is a scratch at the top of this portrait. The leather case cover has disappeared. I like the gal who has more bounce when she is held and examined.
