STACK JOB. I guess back then, in the early 1850s, if you had something special it was okay to flaunt it. This male marauder must have used steel tines in a rake to comb that impressive mane. Or else he had purchased a special pomade to aid his hair styling abilities!!! Darn wasn?t he pretty when he posed for an archivally prepared plate done in sixth size? He had a serious no nonsense expression too. I suspect the surface was previously cleaned using an unknown method. His face still retains some tinting. New tarnish has reformed and there is a brown water stain on the right. Also a few mat scrapes. The cover of his leather case is gone.
