Sixth-plate daguerreotype of Mrs. Catherine Wagner
accompanied by a note: "This picture is Mrs Cath Wagner
Easton PA & Hackettstown, NJ".
This is an early dag, I'm dating it to about 1843. The
hallmark on the plate is L.B.B. & Ce 40.
The woman is wearing an amazing hand tinted dress and
sitting next to a small table with a book on it.. the
book has gold painted edges.
The dag came to me with its original seals intact but
very dirty glass, so I cleaned the original glass, put
it back, and resealed it. The outside of the case is
stamped, "M.B. BRADY CASEMAKER".
Dag is in excellent condition with a tarnish ring and
a few tiny mold spiders, but no corrosion, dings, swipes
or scratches. There is a small scratch on the outside of
the glass. The case is in excellent condition, complete
with no repairs.
