Sixth Plate

BLUER THAN BLUE! Yes readers, tinting was applied to that tablecloth and red was used to accentuate the eager and adorable little girl’s face when she posed for her retaped sixth plate portrait. The cuffs of her blouse and part of the lovely lace collar were solarized naturally during the process. The child?s eyes seemed to look directly into the lens, but when the complete leather case is opened, the next owner will be surprised when the kid peers in their direction. Just look at those filthy fingers. This petite miss wasn?t afraid to go outdoors and play with her friends. There is oxidation and mat scrapes surrounding the subject who wore such a delightful dress to the daguerreian?s gallery. Any other specks you see are simply nothing to worry about!
