Original sixth-plate daguerreotype of a happy little girl with blue ribbons in her hair, standing next to a table covered by a dark purple tinted tablecloth. On the floor to the right looks like the corner of a woman's dress; the dag is still sealed, so I have never seen what's under the mat. Original seals. The underside of the glass is dirty and a little foggy, but I do not see any scratches, swipes abrasions, corrosion, etc.. everything appears to be on the and the image looks sharp and clear underneath. The spot on her sock is on the glass. Full case with lightly worn covers. The pad is loose but can be easily glued back.
