Two beautiful 1/6 daguerreotypes of siblings, in a double case,
matching mats. Both pairs of siblings are holding hands and the
girls' dresses are tinted blue - they are also wearing gold jewelry.
These dags had original seals intact but their glass was very dirty;
I have resealed both images with archival tape. When I did so, I
noticed there is one small mat abrasion to the left of the boy's
chair; I have checked my original pre-cleaned/original seal scans
and have verified that this abrasion was there before I cleaned it.
Outside of that one abrasion, the dags are undamaged in any way.
The case covers are matching, though separated along the spine.
These were purchased from an estate in Hawaii, but I have been
informed by a longtime collector of Hawaiian images that these dags
were definitely NOT taken there. But as far as provenance, my purchase
location is all I can offer.
