Sixth-plate daguerreotype of a young man wearing a multi-colored, tinted scarf. Seated in front of what appears to be a winter scene backdrop. Mat is stamped: C.E. HAWES, N. BEDFORD. and AMBROTYPE ARTIST. Charles E. Hawes produced ambrotypes as well, but this is definitely a daguerreotype.
Dag is in full case with separated covers. It has been resealed with archival tape.. most of the original seals are still inside.
Plate has some tarnish issue, but I see no damage... a skilled dag restorer might be able to remove the tarnish and leave the tinting.
