Sixth Plate

SHALLOW DEPTH OF FOCUS! The subject’s face, strands of dark hair and the fringe on her neckerchief were all very well defined in the lady’s holographic sixth plate daguerreotype that was professionally restored. A bit of red paint was applied to her cheeks. She must have formulated her posing plan prior to entering the operating room. And never wavered while the camera was pointed in her direction. There is a sizeable dimple in the silver above the woman?s white day cap on the left side in the neutral cloth. A few faint brown dots are also on the bright surface. A leather case is apart. The mat marks are meaningless.
